SOME
THINGS YOU CAN'T DO
A store manager
overheard a clerk saying to a customer, "No, ma'am, we haven't had any for
some weeks now, and it doesn't look as if we'll be getting any soon."
Alarmed by what
was being said, the manager rushed over to the customer who was walking out the
door and said, "That isn't true, ma'am. Of course, we'll have some
soon. In fact, we placed an order for it a couple of weeks ago."
Then the manager
drew the clerk aside and growled, "Never, never, never, never say we don't
have something. If we don't have it, say we ordered it and it's on its
way. Now, what was it she wanted?"
The clerk smiled
and said, "Rain."
We must come to
the realization that there are some things that we cannot provide. There
is only one God and I am not Him! When all is said and done in the book
of Job, that's the message with which we are left. After Job spent most of the
book begging to know why God had allowed to happen to him the things that
happened, God answered Job.
However, he never directly answered Job's questions. He merely reminded him
of which one of them was God:
"Have you
ever ordered the morning to begin, or shown the dawn where its place
was?....Can you bring out the stars on time?....Can you shout an order to the
clouds and cover yourself with a flood of water? Can you send lightning bolts
on their way?....Job, are you the one who gives the horse its strength or puts
a flowing mane on its neck?" (Job 38:12,32,34-35; 39:19, NIV)
The answer to
God's questions is obvious. Like Job, I
can't do any of those things. I sometimes make the mistake of
thinking, "If I were God, I would do things differently."
Reading Job 38 and 39 serves to remind me that I don't even come close to
having the qualifications for the job.
So, like Job, I
will humble myself in the presence of the Almighty and bow down before Him,
trusting Him even in the midst of those things I don't always fully understand.
Have a great
day!
