So many people today blame God for the problems in their life. Interestingly, God was to blame for Job's calamities (Job 42:11); but Job had no right to accuse God. There is an important truth to be learned here. God has every right to make our lives miserable, and place us in fiery trials that rob us of our loved ones and joy. Who are we to accuse God or call Him unjust? We must not judge God. We are His creatures; God is the Creator . . . “Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?” (Romans 9:20).

The problem with humanity is that we expect God to respond to every situation the way we would; but God doesn't think the way we do, which is plainly stated in the Scriptures . . . “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.” God does things very differently than we do, which makes the workings of God a mystery. My mother used to often say that “God works in mysterious ways.” She was right.
