When You Feel Frustration Toward a Silent God, Where Are You?

Job Chapter 24

Bringing frustration as it is before God.

Job speaks.

“Why are times not set by the Almighty?”

“The wicked move boundary markers.”

Injustice is being done.

The weak are suffering.

Yet judgment cannot be seen.

Why does He not stop it?

Why does He only seem to watch?

Injustice continues.

The weak suffer.

God remains silent.

Job continues to speak

that frustration toward God.

He does not swallow his complaint.

He does not remain silent.

The frustration

toward God’s silence

is spoken directly to God.

When you ask

why God remains silent,

where are you?

Do you leave God behind

while carrying your frustration?

Or do you stand before Him

with that frustration still in your hands?

Job saw the reality of injustice.

God was silent.

Yet Job continued to speak

his frustration

toward God’s silence

to God Himself.

God is still silent.
