On this day 8 years ago we were eyewitnesses to a horrendous act of terrorism against our country. The world stood aghast as 30 miles from Stamford the Twin Towers were toppled. We were all shocked as we watched those might towers crumble into a mound of rumble. The question we asked that day, and continue to ask today is, “where was God?”
Job is living through his own 9-11 and in chapter 12-14 and he faces his third accuser, Zophar. Even in the face of the terrifying disasters of Job’s life, he affirms the truth that God’s providential control extends over all the events of earth, both the good and the bad.
Job 12:13-14 To God belong wisdom and power; counsel and understanding are his.
What he tears down cannot be rebuilt; the man he imprisons cannot be released.
Job affirms that God is in control of the universe. He obviously can’t figure out the plan of God but that doesn’t stop him from trusting in God’s sovereignty.
Warren Wiersbe the famous preacher stated, “God does not have to explain his ways to us. It is enough for us to know that he cares and that he never makes a mistake. We do not live by explanation: we live by promise.”
Today is accountability day. Send me an email telling me where you are in the journey.
