As humans, we have a deep desire to make sense of the things happening around us. When life throws curveballs, our minds immediately start searching for reasons—cause and effect, logic and explanations.
But what if some things aren't meant to be "figured out"?
Job's story is a perfect example. When his world collapsed, his friends came, not just to comfort him, but to analyze his suffering. Surely, they thought, there must be a reason—maybe hidden sin, maybe divine punishment. They assigned meaning where there was none, speaking with confidence about things they did not understand.
Until God showed up.
And when He did, He didn’t give Job the why behind his suffering. Instead, He reminded Job of who He is.
"Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell me, if you understand." — Job 38:4
Sometimes, our need for answers leads us to conclusions that are not only wrong but also unhelpful. We speculate, we assume, we create "logical" explanations for things that may be beyond human logic.
But maybe, just maybe, faith isn’t about understanding everything. Maybe it’s about trusting God even when nothing makes sense.
Maybe it’s about resting in the fact that God knows, even when we don’t.
So the next time you find yourself scrambling for explanations, pause. Maybe the answer isn’t yours to figure out. Maybe it’s an invitation to trust the One who holds all things in His hands.
Some things don’t need a reason. They just need faith.
