Then the Lord answered Job from the whirlwind: “Who is this that questions my wisdom with such ignorant words? Have you ever commanded the morning to appear and caused the dawn to rise in the east?” – Job 38:1,12(NLT)
WHEN WE CHALLENGE THE LORD
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you ever question the Lord’s omnipotence?
Do you argue or debate about his omniscience?
The people of God need to revere him with all their might
It is the only way we can be victorious in this life.
Who are we to question or challenge our heavenly father?
Didn’t he made everything including our sisters and brothers?
When you challenge and contend with a powerful being
You are clearly defying your own image and also sinning.

There had been a time in my life when I challenged the Lord. I was in my twenties and foolish. Like Job, I questioned him. I was so rude and acted like a brat, giving a tantrum fit just so I could maneuver God into giving me what I planned to do. I bargained with him and gave him a condition that if he gives me my request, I will come back to him. Have you ever done that?
In Job 38, the Lord challenged Job and gave a clear soliloquy of all the things that he and only he can do. He gave Job a litany of his omnipotence and omniscience.
