Though He slay me, I will hope in Him; yet I will argue my ways to His face. (Job 13:15 ESV)
Arguing with God
Few people argued with General Douglas McArthur. Subordinates or Superiors, when McArthur spoke, people nodded their heads, and submitted. There was something about him that seemed to forbid disagreement.
But he also did not have many friends.
God is not like that. YES, He is the absolute Lord of heaven and earth. YES, He is all-knowing, all-powerful, and all-present.
But He is also patient, understanding, and loving.
He brooks disagreement. He listens when we cry out. He is not distant, arrogant, or deaf.
Even Christ, in Gethsemane, argued with His Father.
We can argue with God… but be prepared to lose…
