What doe sit mean to fear God? Why am I here? What is the purpose of life? Solomon says it is all vanity - what then should we do to live our lives with a purpose?

Sometimes we may feel like asking this question, we may begin to doubt God's goodness and whether He knows what He is doing. We will look at Job this morning as Job asks why things were happening to him. God didn't give him an explanation and he is still waiting for that answer. Sufficient that God reminds him I am God and I know what I am doing and you don't. Job's response was to a knowledge that there are so many things he doesn't understand and worships God.

Sometimes we may wonder what God is doing if He is doing anything. Today we look at the life of Joseph and see how we can understand that God is working behind the scenes to accomplish his will. We are just part of the puzzle in the big picture of things.

Can I really Trust God when I am going through difficult times? Does He know what He is doing or more importantly do I believe He can do what He says He can? Am I willing to have confidence in Him through terrible times?

With the media pushing climate change, and climate control it often is a question asked where is God and what is He doing? Habakkuk asked the same question and complained that all he got was silence from God. When God told him what He would do, Habakkuk argued with him that the people he was using as His instruments of judgment against His own people were guilty and worse for doing the things more extreme. Sometimes I wonder if we really believe God is in control and when we want Him to do something it has to be to our expectations to be acceptable. It is not - He is God and we are not!
