God on Trial

         Every country on the face of the earth has some form of judicial policy. In western culture, judicial policies are enforced through courtroom activities. Usually, the individual who has been accused or charged with a crime is presented before a judge, jury, and prosecution to decide their innocence or guilt. The question for today is “Have I put God on Trial?”

In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly. Job 1:22 (KJV)

The story of Job depicts a man who had done anything to deserve the calamities that befell him. However, Job did not bring charges against God; that is, he did not put God on trial. How do you respond to your trials and troubles? Do you bring God into the courtroom of your mind? Do you present a case against Him because of the things that are allowed to happen?

        Christians have to trust God’s wisdom, will, and way knowing that whatever He allows, He will give strength and peace to endure. Do not place the One on trial who is faithful and true, knowing that in the end, He will be merciful as He was to Job and bless us for enduring through hard times.

Prayer of the Week:

“Lord, grant me the grace to accept what you allow in my life. I trust that all things will work together for my good. Amen.”
