“Why do you complain to him that He answers none of man’s words?
For God does speak—-now one way, now another—though man may not perceive it.”
Job 33:13-14.
Job is reminded in this passage that God always hears our prayers, and He always answers them. Job was a godly man, but during times of great suffering he could endure the pain, though he wondered why God was allowing such trials.
God answers our prayers in many ways; we must be ready to listen for His answers.
Suffering is helpful to us when we are willing to learn from a trustworthy God, but it is harmful to us when we reject the fact that God can bring good out of calamity.
We must learn to trust in God who is good and not in the goodness of life.
“All things work together for good to them that love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28.
Have a blessed day!
