Both God and he maintained his inno cence against the accusations of his three friends that he had sinned and brought all his sufferings upon himself. But he presumed to ques tion God’s ways in dealing with him. The suffe/ring man had longed to know God and to solve the riddle of his misfortunes. We learn today how God spoke to Job out of a whirl wind and rebuked him for his pre sumption. Where was Job when the foundations of the earth were laid? He had evidently come on the stage too late to criticize the works of cre ation. Then God spoke of the mysteries of the created world which reveal j His majesty and glory in nature. Was Job responsible for any of the I wonders and beauties about him—! could he explain and direct the vast forces of nature? And the mortal man was further hushed and con founded by the voice that spoke out of the whirlwind. It is not for man to question the ways of God. And it is foolish and indefensible for him to question those ways, as a cloak for his own sins. It would be folly for a tiny ant, crawling over the rails of a great system, to question the ways and the right of an engineer to run a locomotive down the track. It should be our greatest concern to learn the ways of God and to bring our lives into conformity with His will. Trust God’s wisdom and try to live by its gracious provisions for you.
