Finally, God answered Job, and Job realized that God has an answer to every question. 

It is difficult to comprehend the mind of God and what He thinks. 

I believe the solution is to rely on Him and trust His judgment. He cannot make mistakes even when we are genuinely confused. 

Patience is also essential. Job waited on God.

Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act. Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes.

Psalms 37:7 NLT

God has a good plan. He always does!

For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

Jeremiah 29:11 NLT

God made it clear to Job that he is not as strong as he thinks. This is true. God’s ability is greater than all of the humans’ capabilities.

“Will you discredit my justice and condemn me just to prove you are right? Are you as strong as God? Can you thunder with a voice like his?

Job 40:8‭-‬9 NLT

Think about this for a second. Even those who do not trust God for anything have no final say. God does!

And since no one dares to disturb it, who can stand up to me? Who has given me anything that I need to pay back? Everything under heaven is mine.

Job 41:10‭-‬11 NLT

God knows the end from the beginning. Again, I know this is tough and difficult in today’s world. 

I’ll stand firm and trust His promises even when it makes no sense. 

If He knows all things, then He knows the future. He can, and He will do it right!

This is the life of man on earth.

Sometimes, we receive answers to our questions, and other times, no answers. 

Silence is a form of an answer to a question. So, when you receive no response, the answer is silence!

Those who do not believe in the sovereignty of God have issues to contend with in their hands. 

“If they listen and obey God, they will be blessed with prosperity throughout their lives. All their years will be pleasant. But if they refuse to listen to him, they will cross over the river of death, dying from lack of understanding. The godless are full of resentment. Even when he punishes them, they refuse to cry out to him for help.

Job 36:11‭-‬13 NLT

It’s not going to be easy for the doubters. 

There are lots of evil people in this world. It’s futile trying to be like one of them. 

And richness doesn’t bring inner peace. 

But watch out because riches are seductive. Deliberately reject every attempt to fall into sin. Could all your wealth or all your mighty efforts keep you from distress?

Job 36:18‭-‬19 NLT

Listen, God is greater than we can comprehend. Job 36:26. Also, it is a good answer to your troubled mind.

Only a fool says there’s no God!

I don’t know much, but I rely on Him who knows everything. 

Do you know the laws of the universe? Can you use them to regulate the earth?

Job 38:33 NLT

Seeking answers at different places often leads to falling into a dip pit of deceit and lies.

Watch! Gullibility becomes easy and embracing lies emboldened. 

Its young gulp down blood. Where there’s a carcass, there you’ll find it.”

Job 39:30 NLT

“Then if anyone tells you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah,’ or ‘There he is,’ don’t believe it. For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and perform great signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even God’s chosen ones. Just as the gathering of vultures shows there is a carcass nearby, so these signs indicate that the end is near.

Matthew 24:23‭-‬24‭, ‬28 NLT

The ultimate answer, in my opinion, is to seek God who is the sovereign being of all that ever exists.
