1.5.25.Trusting God

Job 9 God is God

Job is in a quandary. He wants to believe God but his circumstances seem to prove that God is like the wind, here today and gone tomorrow. There seems to be no consistency with him. He brings some down and elevates others with just a whim. Job’s friends seem to concur that God honors the righteous and condemns the guilty but all with evidence. What is Job to do but to continue on with his misunderstandings of life and eternity. How like us. We are blessed and we give God credit but then we face challenges and we blame God. Oh woe is me! What do we do? We turn back to who God is. 

Num 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie,nor a human being, that he should change his mind.Has he said, and will he not do it? Unlike the wind, God is steadfast, immovable and trustworthy. We may be in a situation like Job but we must trust Him who never changes. 1Sa 15:29 “The Preeminent One of Israel does not go back on his word or change his mind, for he is not a human being who changes his mind.”

Wherever God has you today, trust He is trustworthy.
