Knowing God - God Does Not Answer Us


Job 33:13
 Why dost thou strive against him?
for he giveth not account of any of his matters.

God Does Not Answer to Us

The word ‘strive’ here means ‘contend’.  We are being questioned as to why we argue with God about His actions and think He has to give us an answer that satisfies our criteria.  God does not give an account of any of his matters to anyone.  God is God and God does all things well.  He is over all and He created all and He is the wise God who is holy and righteous in all of His ways.  When we lack understanding about God and His ways we had best move with caution and not approach Him with contention or demands.  He is a good God and we can approach Him with humble questions or bring our confusion about what He is doing before Him as long as we understand that He IS doing things right whether we understand or not.  We must approach our God with great reverence and seek answers with hearts that desire to know Him and NEVER to rebuke or correct Him.  He does not give account of any of His matters.
