Listen Up

 Job 34:10 So listen to me, you men of understanding. Far be it from God to do evil, from the Almighty to do wrong.
Instead of ascribing to the Lord understanding, counsel, wisdom and power as mentioned in yesterday’s verse, we often ascribe to him disaster, confusion, abandonment and wrongdoing.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
God is not evil; in fact, he is the definition and embodiment of all that is good.
God cannot participate in wrongdoing on the earth, or in our lives.
Therefore, when there is evil around and disaster and fear – that is not God’s doing. 
God sent his son Jesus to right all wrongs – namely sin. Right now, the earth is still subject to the laws of man, and any wrongdoing comes from the evil that is in the heart of man.
However, if we are men/women of understanding, we will know that a day is coming when all wrongs will be righted.  We serve a God who does right, a God of justice, a God of righteousness.

If we start to think anything other than that truth, we are not understanding God at all.
