Job 40:1, 2 Then the LORD said to Job, “Do you still want to argue with the Almighty? You are God’s critic, but do you have the answers?” Everybody is a critic, including me. If I was the coach, I would have done it differently. I'm an arm chair quarterback, and I'm confident that I have what it takes. The reality is, I am wrong. How ignorant could I be to think that I could make better decisions than someone who has been trained and game tested like a real football coach. I'm just a pretender, and don't have enough of the needed knowledge to even begin to measure up. Now with that in mind, think about how often we feel the need to question God concerning His ways. Too often we become God's critic, and that's a dangerous combination of arrogance and ignorance. We think that it should be done differently, or that He made a bad decision, but we fail to see that we are lacking the knowledge of the big picture. Every decision that God makes doesn't just effect us, but many others. Could you sit in His throne and judge rightly? No way. I'm so thankful that I serve The Lord of all creation, and even more thankful that the Judge of all the earth is my Father. The next time that you are tempted to dout or question what God is up to, instead of criticizing, try trusting. In the end, you will see that God was right 100% of the time.
