Questioning God??

Job 38:1-3 "Then the Lord speaks to Job out of the storm He said: "Who is this that obscures my plans with words without knowledge? Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me." 

The book of Job is often our "go to" book when we fall on hard times. We say "If God did it for Job He can do it for me"  which is correct; however, we often forget that Job was a righteous man and did no wrong in the sight of God. Even still, God had a plan for Job to prove to the devil that Job would remain faithful even when things were going badly in his life. Prior to the chapter mentioned here Job had began to question God's motives in which God follows with the ULTIMATE READ. Basically telling Job who are you to question me and my plans without the knowledge AND power that I posess, I ask the questions and you provide the answers! This was right on time for me because I had begun quesitoning God about some things in my life and why He was not doing certain things that I would expect at this point in time. What we don't realize is that when we ask questions like this doubt is usually the underlying cause. We're doubting God's power, so God reminds us that He is in control of ALL things. 1 Peter 5:6-7 says "Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you". Instead of thinking you're big enough to question God think of yourself as small enough to hand everything over to Him showing your need for Him and your trust in the power of His mighty hand. Notice the scripture says "hand" which is singular, God is so powerful that the work of one of His hands is sufficient for things that we don't have the power to take care of. Stop questioning God and trust His plan we will never know all the things that He has planned for us, but rest assured that He knows (Jeremiah 29:11) and that He cares enough to handle it in due time.
