God Done It?

In all this Job did not sin nor charge God with wrong. Job 1:22

The chief detective gathered the suspects in the drawing room and laid out the evidence to them. Then, he concluded to their surprise, "God done it!" What?!! A similar reaction comes to that last bit of our verse for today. Charge God with wrong? And yet, we know that this is a common thing among the fallen of this world. The dying spouse or suffering child is but the beginning of the many things humans blame God for in this age. Following our father Adam and our mother Eve, we reach for the forbidden fruit again and again, and then pause in our chomping to blame God for the state of the world. However, patiently God grants to us His mercy until we can know the precious gift He gave to us in His Son, Jesus. And one day we confess: I am the sinner, Jesus is my Savior, great is the name of the Lord God!

And the chief detective said, "Not God, y'all done it, believe in the Lord Jesus and be saved!"
