Job 40:6-42:17

The Lord again answers Job by asking if Job can control the chaos and disorder around him; can Job control God’s creation and creatures?  Job repents by saying that he cannot be in control, but even in life’s worst tragedy God is still in control.  The Lord forgives Jobs friends for speaking wrongly of God.  Finally, the Lord blesses Job and he lives a long good life.

In times of tragedy we need to recognize that we are not in control; in fact, we are completely out of control.  Only God is in control and God is in complete control.  Bad things happen in life, but God is always there with a shoulder we can lean on.  We can trust in God because God is ultimately in control.
