Ask God

”If only I had someone to hear my case! Here is my signature; let the Almighty answer me. Let my Opponent compose his indictment. I would surely carry it on my shoulder and wear it like a crown. I would give him an account of all my steps; I would approach him like a prince.“ Job 31:35-37 CSB

Thinking about Job, He was such a godly man, then he had all kinds of hell hit his life and all of a sudden his previous integrity meant nothing. His friends falsely accusing him of sinning and being punished by God, his really good reputation tarnished.

Does that bother you when people who should trust your integrity make assumptions about you that are not true? Has that ever happened to you where someone has judged your motives and misinterpreted your actions? False accusations are the worst. You wonder… how can a person know another person’s motive? The truth is only God can. God knows us inside to outside.

We all feel like people should be fair to one another, but that doesn’t happen too often, life is just not fair and people make bad assumptions about other people and injustice happens. You wonder why people who are in relationship with other people, who falsely accuse them, do not trust the integrity of that persons life. Job’s whole life was one of integrity, but his friends never counted that into their unjust treatment of him.

It is what it is. How can anything be fair in this chaotic world saturated with deception? Yet there is always good in a bad situation, as God will use these hurtful things to bring out what is in our heart, in our soul that should not be there and He will create a discipleship moment where we get to grow through into better people.

When it comes to false accusations, this kind of situation can press into our human condition. If we have a “short fuse” when it comes to being condemned, scorned, and falsely accused, we are quick to defend ourselves, but when that doesn’t help and the situation becomes a crooked place, it makes it worse when soul anger enters in and a “fleshing out” occurs with soured emotions from a wounded soul.

The one thing that needs to change is the one step of remembering Who is your defender? God is. Who is the fixer? God is. Who keeps us self-controlled? God does! God is the fixer, we are not, God is the defender, we are not and God is our strength, wisdom and discernment to make the next right choice.

When we don’t stay in our own lane and step into His, things don’t end well. Truly all we have to do is Ask God, this is a really good choice. But sometimes we do what it says in Isaiah 50:10-11, we kindle our own fire and walk by the light of a man-made fire that will flame out and leave us in a greater soul torment. God is our helper in any time of our need, there isn’t anything He can’t help us with. We need to Ask God before we act. Ask God, listen up and be navigated by Him. Let be, be still and know He is God.
