Day: May 4, 2025

God’s question for today comes from Job 40:2.
“Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct Him?”


My wife of 55 years died. My only brother died. My best friend died of cancer. Though they died months apart, it seemed like it was all in the same week. I was tired of death. There was nothing I could do. Sometimes life doesn’t make sense. The good suffer. The wicked seem to win. Prayers go unanswered. In our confusion, we may feel tempted to raise a fist toward heaven and ask, “Why, God?”

Consider the case of Job. He lost everything—his family, his health, his security. In his grief, he began to question the fairness of it all. Then God responded—not with explanations, but with questions. Piercing, soul-searching questions like this one: “Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct Him?”
It wasn’t scolding. It was an invitation. A reminder. We are not God. We see through the years; He sees through eternity. His ways are higher, His wisdom deeper, His justice perfect.

God wasn’t offended by Job’s questions. He welcomed Job’s honesty. But He also re-centered the conversation. Not around Job’s suffering—but around God’s sovereignty.

There’s comfort in that. If we had to understand everything to trust Him, we never would. Faith doesn’t mean we stop asking. It just means we start trusting—especially when we don’t understand the answers.

Lay down your case today. Let God be God. He can handle your hurt, and He alone can heal your heart. As the sons says, you will understand it all by and by.

God’s question for today comes from Exodus 4:11.

The Lord said to him, “Who gave man his mouth?”

God called Moses to tell the Pharaoh to let God’s people go. Moses had a heart full of hesitation. “I can’t speak well,” he said. “I’m not eloquent.” “Please, send someone else.” I just want to say, “Excuses, excuses.”

Maybe you’ve said something similar. I’m too shy. Too broken. Too slow. Too… something.

But God interrupts our excuses with a question that cuts straight to the heart.

“Who gave man his mouth?”

It’s more than a question—it’s a reminder. A reminder that God made you. He knows your voice, your flaws, your fears—and still, He calls you. Not because you’re perfect, but because He is. He doesn’t need polished vessels. He just needs open ones.

This isn’t just about Moses’ tongue. It’s about your hands, your feet, your story. God says, “I know what I put in you. I know how I wired you. And I will be with you.”

Where do you feel unqualified today? What task feels too big?

Hear God’s whisper: “I made you. And I’ll help you.”

Don’t let your limitations speak louder than God’s calling.
