God has absolute authority in the universe, and is worthy to judge all things, and to execute His judgement upon all things. God is the one who created what is right and decided what is wrong, and He alone is worthy to reward the just, and punish the wicked.
There is no questioning what God is able and justified to do. He tries us that we may become like gold tried in a fire, with the dross burned away and consumed by the fire.
Isaiah 45:7: I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these [things].
Without reason? Without purpose? Of course not.
Job 2:3: And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that [there is] none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.
God tested Job by allowing Satan to attack him without cause, seeing Job was a righteous man in all his ways, and still Job held fast his integrity to the Lord. This is a lesson to all of us, that even if we are perfect in our walk with the Lord, we must trust Him and love Him, whatever He may allow us to experience, because He does all things for a cause, for a reason, many times beyond our finite minds to understand.
Job 9:22: This [is] one [thing], therefore I said [it], He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
And is God a sinner for doing so? Nay, mortal man, God's will be done in all the earth, for "all things worketh together for good to those whom love Him, and keepeth His commandments."
The next time you question God's intentions, or authority, remember, you man of the dust, that God is beyond your comprehension, as His ways are above your ways. Learn as Job also learned:
Job:37:16: Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?
Can you judge the Almighty? Do you know all there is to know, that you may judge the God of the Universe correctly?
Remember, Jesus suffered all things without cause by the will of God, that we may have a chance to be in Heaven. Was that wrong? Think about it...
