Who is God in relation to me?

The cries of an aching heart

Job 38-42

Two key convictions about God for facing suffering:-

1. ‘You know and I don’t’ (Trusting God’s wise governance)
1. The inanimate order (Ch 38)
2. The moral order (40:9-14)
3. The animate order (Ch 39 & 40:15-41:34)
• Response – submitting not questioning
2. ‘I owe and you don’t’ (Acknowledging God’s gracious provision)
• The grace-based heart
• The works-based heart
• Response – trusting not turning
