"The facts of life aren't always black and white, But when it's all said and done, at the end of the day, I'm trusting God to guide me through the gray." John Reuben

Who Are We?

Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?
Have you ever in your life commanded the morning?
Have the gates of death been revealed to you?
Have you understood the expanse of the earth?
Have you entered the storehouses of the snow?
Can you lead forth a constellation in its season?
Do you know the ordinances of the heavens?
Can you send forth lightnings?
Will the faultfinder contend with the Almighty?

These are just a few of the many questions God asked Job.

Job answered the Lord and said, " Behold, I am insignificant; what can I reply to Thee? I lay my hand on my mouth."

Do we annul God's judgment? Do we condemn God that we may be justified? Job 40:8

I have recently been reminded about these passages in Job, and I have to question myself and say, "Have I complained against the Most High God?" Who am I that I think I know better than he does.

What do we complain about, that we think nothing of? The small things in life, maybe? The weather? The temperature in the house? The food wasn't cooked right? Where you are and wishing you could be somewhere else?  Those are just a few things, and there are tons more.

God has been here since the world began and I think He knows what is best for His children. I personally, need to trust in that more.
