My God, Thank You For Answering My Questions
April 26 Scripture Meditations Based on Job 37-42
Key Verse – Job 38:1 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind…
MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING MY QUESTIONS
Thank You for answering my questions with Your presence
That girds me in my frustration-silence
As You demand my faith’s persistence
Midst doubts’ insistence and trust’s decadence.
Thank You for answering my questions with Your counsel
That enlightens me in my confusion-grapple
As You illumine my understanding with truth’s epistle
Midst obscurity’s darkness and falsity’s wimple.
Thank You for answering my questions with Your wisdom
That corrects me in my ignorance-boredom
As You guide my heart always, not just seldom
Midst lustfulness’ cravings and carnality’s freedom.
Thank You for answering my questions with Your query
That rebukes me in my self-pity’s fury
As You discipline my unbelief of its afflicting injury
Midst bitterness’ sorrow and discontentment’s misery.
Thank You for answering my questions with Your teaching
That strengthens me in my conviction-stretching
As You uphold my steadfastness through Your standards’ preaching
Midst indecency’s entangling and worldliness’ reaching.
Thank You for answering my questions with Your sovereignty
That leads me in my submission-humility
As You overrule my pride’s integrity
Midst haughtiness’ vanity and selfishness’ futility.
