Ask Until You Receive

Who is the Almighty, that we should serve Him?
And what profit do we have if we pray to Him?
  --  Job 21:15

Job said that? Oh, yes, he did. Had Job given up on the Lord then? We know from the story that Job wanted a discussion with God, but no, the man did not sin by giving up on God. The argument had been made that Job suffered the consequences of his sin. And one of Job's responses was to invite his mockers to look at how the wicked prospered and grew strong in the world. The wicked in Job's example even said things such as those two questions in our verse for today. By their argument, the wicked should be in much worse suffering than Job, yet they were not.

Someone, somewhere may well be asking those two questions this morning as they look at the news from Minneapolis. Encourage that person to continue in prayer. Yes, we should continue in service to the Almighty. Why didn't the Almighty protect those children by stopping that person yesterday? Ask God in prayer!

And keep on asking until you receive His answer,
