When someone is not doing well or is unwell, and perhaps close to dying, we tend to judge them and say you must have done something wrong. Is it right to conclude this? I can only conclude that we do not completely understand why some are taken when yet to be born, while others live to be more than a hundred. Elihu makes a great statement here.
Job 36:26
“Behold, God is great, and we do not know Him;
Nor can the number of His years be discovered.
As I mentioned yesterday, our Creator is all knowing, all present and all powerful. He sees the beginning and the end at the same time. That is why he is referred to as the Alpha and Omega. Elihu says we do not know Him. Very true. In another verse it says this.
1 Corinthians 2:16, For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
With the power of the Holy Spirit we can have the mind of Christ. Our daily thinking can be shaped according to His ways. No longer conformed to the patterns of this world. We may not still completely understand everything, but we certainly can ask Him, and process what we can in this finite mind.
Father, I do not understand everything, but I do know that I can call on You and You will answer.
