Arguing with God

“How then can I dispute with him? How can I find words to argue with him?”—Job 9:14 (NIV)

Have you ever tried to argue with God only to realize the error of your thinking? God is never wrong. Yet, by openly disagreeing with Him, you often open a dialogue that will help you better understand His ways. Approach Him with honest prayer. Your most important action is to turn to Him.

Heavenly Father, I may not be happy with what is happening, but who am I to argue with You?

Checking in with God
