Job 13:15
Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.
Job cannot explain his sufferings by saying, “I am
being punished because I have done wrong.” [Instead he says], “Though He slay
me, yet will I trust Him.” I will wait [persevere] for Him. Always remain true
to facts and to the intuitive certainty that God must be just, and do not try
to justify Him too quickly. The juggling trick tries to justify God for
allowing sin and war. Sin and war are absolutely unjustifiable, and yet the
instinct of every Christian needs to be, “I know that in the end God will
justify Himself.” Meantime you can justify Him only by a venture of faith which
cannot be logically demonstrated.
