We often assume that God would do things exactly the way we would. But God thinks in much different ways than we do. God is an entirely different being than we are. He is inherently holy, eternal, moral, and good. We are bound to time and experiences, and sin has affected the way we think. We are clouded, imperfect beings. Still, God extends an invitation to Isaiah: “‘Come now, and let us reason together,’ says the LORD, ‘Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool’” ( I SAIAH 1:18). God encourages us to think about our deficient way of thinking and come to Him for help. Job admits that he has seen his need for God and he has made a covenant with the LORD. Job remains in this covenant, even though it seems to him that the LORD has abandoned him. This is where Job gets it right. He stayed, he waited, he also complained, but ultimately, he tried to keep his promises to God.

confronts Job about life and about realities of living on the earth. He asked Job questions that

Do Not Fear; Psalms 9-14
Fear is one of the more powerful emotions that drives our decisions. Sometimes this is good but
many times it is not. We look both ways before crossing a busy street for fear of being hit by a
car. That is a healthy fear. Some of us fear the discipline of God, or even His wrath. That is a very
go...
