It's better to know God instead of knowing all the answers

It's better to know God instead of knowing all the answers

  After the silence of chapter 37, God finally answered Job in Job 38. God spoke to Job out of mighty storm to impress him with His infinite power. Job wanted to know the answers but God refused to answer Job (Job: 38:1-3). Instead of giving the answers he wanted, God assured Job that He was in full control of his life and that He alone knew the cause of Job's suffering. God taught Job that: It's better to know God instead of knowing all the answers. It can be very hard to accept when we all want to know the answers. Job didn't got to know why he was suffering. But He needed to know who was in control, who loved him and who would be with him in his suffering. Job needed a new understanding of God.

  Instead of telling Job the reason for his suffering, God assured Job of his love, wisdom, and strength. Job learned a hard lesson that when everything is gone from our lives, all we have is God. Either suffering brings us into the arms of God or suffering takes us away from God. Make the right choice. Trust in God's infinite wisdom. Trust in God's perfect love for you. See God's presence in the midst of your pain. Our Lord, who still bears the stain of crucifixion, stands with open arms to comfort you with His loving presence.

  It's better to know God instead of knowing all the answers. May God help us to understand that "Who indeed He is" rather than "What He can do".

Knowing God helps us to know us better, identify our existence and purpose of our life.
