I did it My way

have you ever wondered why certain animals do the things they do? The simple answer is that God made them that way. God programmed animals to behave in certain ways. He has a plan. He has a purpose. These things are they way they are because this is the way He made them. And no one is in any position to say, "God, you did it in a stupid way. I would have done it way better." Yet this is what people say. This is what Job was saying. This is what people say about God's plan of salvation through Jesus. They say that it's a stupid things to do to sacrifice one's own Son. They say Jesus was dumb for not seeing what was coming. When we question the motivations of the Creator and Judge of the Universe we put ourselves in the position of judge over Him. That just isn't how it's supposed to be. It's one thing to be curious and wonder why God does what He does and why He does things a certain way. It's another to want to know why and then to evaluate if the answer is good enough or not. Perhaps the most humble thing anyone can say is, "I don't know." This is where God was trying to get Job. Perhaps the best thing to add to that is, "I don't know, and I trust you, God."
