How did incontrol die11/6/2023 ![]() Rest easy in His love and grace knowing that all things will work together for good to those that love Him (Rom. That may seem like a bad answer, but in the end, that is where we have to leave many things. When Job was questioning God, God replied, “Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding” (Job 38:4). The question still remains, though, why would God let Job’s children die? Does God not care? Why does He not destroy Satan now? Why did God let my friend’s little boy die in a train accident? Why doesn’t God just do away will all sin, suffering, pain, and death? Again, the lesson Job learned is that our finite minds understand very little. Clearly, his exalted position has been lost, but his ultimate punishment is yet to come (Revelation 20:10). In Ezekiel 28:11-19 and Isaiah 14, we learn about Satan’s sin and his fall from heaven. It comforts me to know that God is in control He is even in control of what Satan can or can’t do. The book of Job is a good reminder for us that we can’t, nor do we need to, understand everything. I don’t understand everything about the spiritual world. It seems strange to me also that God and Satan still talk. I know that it was a test of Job’s faith, but was God so heartless that it didn’t bother Him to kill off Job’s children for a test of faith? So what if Job had more kids that were more beautiful afterwards? That doesn’t replace the lives lost. Why is it that God and Satan talk as described in the book of Job? In the book of Job, God let Satan ruin Job. ![]()
