Job defends himself

Job 28:20 -  23
20 “Where then does wisdom come from? Where does understanding dwell?
21 It is hidden from the eyes of every living thing, concealed even from the birds of the air.
22 Destruction and Death say, ‘Only a rumour of it has reached our ears.’
23 God understands the way to it and he alone knows where it dwells…”

For Thought
Why do bad things happen to good people? If you have often pondered that problem you are not alone. There is only one answer: God allows bad things to happen to His people only if He sees a way of turning the bad into a greater good.

Contemplation
“… And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” (Romans 8:28).
