QUESTIONING GOD

SCRIPTURE READING - 📖 Jeremiah 18:3-4

Then I went down to the potter’s house, and there he was, making something at the wheel. And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter; so he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make.

Additional Verses

📖 Psalm 24:1-10; Jeremiah 18:1-12; Matthew 20:1-16

Certain things are allowed by God to happen in your life to test your faith. But many children of God tend to complain, grumble and question God. Why? It is only the foolish person who opens his mouth to question why God does certain things which cannot be comprehended by the human mind. Psalm 24:1 says, “The earth is the LORD’s and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein.” No human person is therefore qualified to question God concerning what He does with any of His creatures including yourself. Every human person is like clay in the potter’s hand which the potter can make into any shape that he desires. Just as the potter can make the clay into any shape that he desires, so can God also do with you whatever He sees fit because you belong to Him. James 1:2-3 says, “My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations, knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.” In the parable of the workers in the vineyard in Matthew 20:1-16, Jesus Christ teaches how it is not lawful for any human person to question God. In this parable a landowner went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. Now when he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. The landowner went on to hire another group to go and work in the same vineyard. About the sixth hour the landowner hired a third group to go and join the first and second group in the same vineyard. The landowner hired a forth group of laborers almost at the end of the day at the eleventh hour. When it was evening, all the four groups were rewarded with a denarius each for their labor. Those who had come earlier started to grumble that they should have been paid more than those who came later. Matthew 16:13 says, “But the landowner said to one of them, “Friend, I am not being unfair to you. Did you not agree with me to work for a denarius? Take what is yours and go your way. I wish to give to this last man the same as to you. Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own things? Or is your eye evil because I am generous?” In concluding this parable, Jesus Christ further reminded the hearer that, “So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but a few are chosen.” You may have been born again some fifty years ago and another one is saved today, in the sight of God you will be rewarded the same. There is no one who is too good or too bad when it comes to salvation. Alleluia!

Prayer
