Justified

By impugning God for His evasiveness, Job had committed the same offense against God that the friends had committed. They justified God at Job’s expense, whereas Job justified himself at God’s expense (40:8).

Are we justifying ourselves like the pharisee's at God's expense? This last year that is the place I have been in and I have put it into my families DNA. It is wrong . We do not need to be justified in why we do things. We need to simple obey the Lord and do what he is telling us to do. Realizing that He has a reason for everything He does. God is our maker and creator how can we hold Him accountable for the things He has promised us. That makes us god and that we are not. It puts us in a place of judgment holding God accountable. It then becomes a lens we read the scripture through. We are justified by faith believing till the end that God will do His part, doubt demands that He does it.
