#soap # Job 09 Tags: SOAP ## Title: God Really Does Know Better ## Scripture: (Job 9:2-4) “Truly, I know that this is so. But how can a human be just before God? If someone wishes to contend with him, he cannot answer him one time in a thousand. He is wise in heart and mighty in strength— who has resisted him and remained safe? (NET) ## Observation: Job is saying that it is true that we should turn to God in difficult times. However, if our desire is to turn to God and tell Him we think He’s wrong, we are only kidding ourselves. God’s ways are higher and far above anything we can understand. Therefore, it may not always seem like it, but God really does know better. Job is saying no one can see all God sees, so no one could ever honestly challenge Him. One day, when we truly see all God is doing and why He did it, we will realize He really did know better. ## Application: Trust the Lord when we don’t understand. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for showing mercy when we don’t understand.
