Job 28:6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; 7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? 8 Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it broke forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?
Even after God spoke to Job, we will observe that God never gave Job an explanation as to why the terrible calamities, and misfortunes had overtaken him. God goes deep into science, creation, and occurrences that baffle mortal minds in the natural world, but God does not touch or address the root cause of Job’s dilemma.
Job 38:1 Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, 2 Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge? 3 Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. 4 Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. 5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, or who hath stretched the line upon it?
And we could go down and read the entire chapter, and all those chapters that come after, but for some unknown reason God deliberately does not answer that most pressing question, as to why all of these sudden calamities happened to Job. So, let’s ask the question directly: Why did God not reveal to Job the root causes of his problems, and why did He not give him any explanations?
Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
