Subject: is it acceptable to make demands of god? |
Bible Note: Hello rcchef2001, Your post was so nicely written. Have another look over Job. Maybe, if you can make some time to read the whole book you may find it makes more sense to you. My Bible might read a little differently from yours, but if it is ok with you, let me just quote some verses: 38:3 "Now gird up your loins like a man, And I will ask you, and you instruct Me!" 40:7 "Now gird up your loins like a man, And I will ask you, and you instruct Me." These are GOD's words to Job. Now see how Job replies: 42:4 "Hear, now, and I will speak; I will ask You, and You instruct me." What lesson did Job learn - that which you already know in your heart. Don't be afraid to talk to your Pastor. He will see your good intention. I sincerely hope this helps and that you enjoy the book and story of Job. May grace be with you always, deb |
