(JOB 9:15-19)
"For though I was right,
I could not answer; I would have to implore the mercy of my judge. If I
summoned him and he answered me, I would not believe that he was listening to
my voice. He would crush me with a storm and multiply my wounds for no reason. He
will not let me get my breath, but fills me with bitterness. If it is a matter
of strength, he is mighty! And if it is a matter of justice, who can challenge
him?”
God is all sufficient, the all knowing God that cannot be queried or questioned. The scripture says “God does as He pleases (Job 23:13). God can decide to promote the poor and make him sit among princes, and He can demote kings and princes and relegate them to nothing. Nobody can challenge the decision of the Lord Almighty, He cannot be taken to court, and nobody can judge Him because He is the judge of all judges. In fact, He is the chief judge of the universe!

There
are some circumstances that had caused people to query where God was when their
lives were in shambles. Some can even take it to the extent of saying “if God
is truly existing; why are evil things happening to good people? The answer to
these questions are not farfetched- He is God of all flesh, His ways are not our
ways, He decides who He wants to have mercy on (Romans 9:15).
Job
was a man that did the will of God, he was steadfast and God was boastful of
him. Yet the devil with the permission of God; attacked him to test his faith
and loyalty in God. Job was upright and yet afflicted by the devil, however,
Job did not query God, and instead he pleaded for mercy. “Though I was
innocent, I could not answer Him, I could only plead with my judge for mercy.”
(Job 9:15).
The lesson
here is that no matter what you are going through, don’t query God, and don’t
be angry with Him. All you need to do is to plead for His mercy. God cannot be
taken to court, He cannot be flogged or beaten, and since you cannot fight God;
the best thing to do when life is tough and difficult is to ask for His mercy
and wait patiently like Job, and watch God elevating you to a greater height
after your trial of faith.
