Unanswerable

“Where does wisdom come from?
Where does understanding live?
It is hidden from the eyes of every living being,
hidden even from the birds in the air...
God understands the way to it.
He knows where it lives.”
Job 28:20–21, 23 GW

There are a lot of unanswerable questions in life: Why a young mother, in her prime of life, is suddenly stricken with cancer; why godly parents have a son who rejects all that is good and wholesome; why a businessman who has always put God first goes bankrupt. Though we may not find the answers we want in our lifetime, we do know who has the answers. Our God is the source of all wisdom and understanding. In his incredible wisdom, God has a good purpose for each of life’s disasters. Knowing that he understands each tragedy intimately means we can have peace, trusting him with the outcome.

Praise God that no tragedy you face is outside the scope of his wisdom and understanding.
