Job 38:4 (NKJV) 4 “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding.
Some people like to question God and His reasons for doing the things He does. Some like to question Him about the things he doesn’t do.
We’ve all heard the questions, often times spoken with sarcasm; if God is so loving, why are there starving people in the world? If God loves you so much, why does He allow you to go through such hard trials? And the list of these types of questions could go on and on.
Sometimes these questions even come from the mouths of believers… people who claim to be followers of Christ.
Most times it is pointless to debate or try to reason with people who ask these questions. Occasionally the door will genuinely open and a meaningful conversation can be held. But the majority of the time, trying to talk to them in a way that will change their minds is fruitless.
At those times, when there is no reasoning with that person, the verse above is about all you can use.
Where were they when God laid the foundations of the earth? Where were they when he commanded the waters to pull back and create dry land? Where were they when He said “let there be light”, and there was light?
To these questions they will have no answer. Sometimes they need to know that what they think isn’t important, when compared to the big picture.
Sometimes they just need to know that God is bigger and mightier than they are and that His ways don’t always make sense to our logical minds.
There are things that happen that we will never be able to explain away and things that happen that we will never understand or comprehend.
But that’s OK, because God is still God, whether we agree, understand, comprehend or not.
