1 | is it acceptable to make demands of god? | Job | rcchef2001 | 58928 | ||
My pastor used this verse to convey the idea that God wants us to make demands on him in prayer. Job 38:3 (NIV) Brace yourself like a man; I(god) will question(some translations say "demand of") you, and you(Job)shall answer me. God repeats this in Job 40:7 an Job again refers to this when he is answering God. I beleive he took it out of context. The bible says in Mark 11:24 Whatsoever you ask for in prayer, and beleive that you have received it, it shall be yours. I believe this and have experienced god's hand in my life.In my concordance, the word "ask" could be translated as demand. It could be that I just have a problem with the word "demand" when it comes to God. God took the better part of three chapters in Job, demandng(not asking)Job who do you think you are Job, I am God! I will make demands of you and you will answer me! I do not often question my Pastor. He is a wonderful man of God and I love him and would never want to hurt him. I also did not want to appear foolish when I approched him for clarification. Thank you for your input God will bless you. |
