"Wherefore was I born?" (Job 3:11) "How can man be just with God?" (Job 9:2) "If a man die shall he live again?" (Job 14:14) The world we live in is full of questions. Questions that plague us. Questions that wear us down, burden our minds and render us restless. Questions that keep us up at night, gazing at the ceiling through teary eyes. Questions that we dare not ask. Questions that we are ashamed or afraid to ask. Questions that we desperately need answers to. What is wrong with me? Why did my marraige fail? Why can't I have a child? How do I become the person I want I want to be? Why this? Why that? How come these? The problem is not coming up with the questions, the real problem is getting the answer to them. It is not unusual for God to keep quiet and calm in the midst of our raging storm. Sometimes God seems indifferent and unreachable as we battle with our hows and whys. This is not because He doesn't care about us. It is usually because He knows what is best for us. They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. The key to surviving God's silence is to be strong and committed because after the silence comes the answer. And God will certainly give you an answer. Good news is His answer doesn't just give a response to your question, it completely erases the question. Elizabeth whom they call "barren" got her answer; and the ungodly nickname was erased from her life. A woman so much suffered from a deadly sickness that nobody remembered her name anymore. She was simply called the woman with the issue of blood. She too got her answer ans her situation changed. There is nothing too hard for the Lord to do..
Sometimes I just can't wrap my head around how Job must have felt. Here was a righteousness man. In God's own words, "Job was blameless and upright". Job did everything right. He even went extra miles. Yet, one day all of a sudden, terrible things started to happen to him. Gradually before his very eyes, his life turned upside down. No doubt Jod exploded into questions. So many questions filled his mind. He didn't know where to start. But in the end God answered his questions and turned his situation around. Today, I have a strong assurance in my spirit that God is about to give you an answer. Stand still because the Egyptians you see today, you shall see them no more!
