God Cares

Job's ordeal finally ended. After being reprehended by God for his inappropriate attitude, he was finally cured from his wounds, restored to the double of his wealth, and had ten beautiful children. In the end he won right? What astounded me of this ending was that God actually agreed with Elihu's opinion over Job's attitude. He also thought Job was in no position to criticize him, since he is none other than his creator. Had he been with him centuries ago when he decided to create man? Did he posses the knowledge and experience God had gained throughout all that time?  Of course not!  Like he asked Job:
"Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. 38:5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? 38:6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; 38:7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?" (Job 38: 4-7).
 Job is nothing bu an insignificant speck in the whole space of history since the beginning. Job is only a small human being living along a million other humans and creatures. He only has to live with what he has, with no right to complain over any misfortune that could happen during his life. What can he do about it? Only God has any knowledge to judge all creatures on Earth.
In the end we all are in the same situation. We all live our lives thinking only about ourselves, and we forget we are living along another 6 billion people in the world. If we think about it, we are only 0.1 *10^-9% of the whole world population. We are nothing in this world, and yet we always feel we are the center of it. When something terrible happens to us, we feel that God has decided to curse you, and the whole world has turned against you. The truth is, not everything has to do with you. Like Job, we've got to learn to accept our fortune without complaining, because God somehow is the one managing it. If we trust in God, then we know that somehow, he will fix things.
He did create the world in the first place, and we have to acknowledge his thousands of years of experience. Even if he did make mistakes in the past (like leaving a forbidden fruit tree in the middle of a garden), over time he has learned how to deal with the terribly restless creatures humans are.
It is very comforting to think that no matter how many billions of humans are living right now, you can always know that God somehow has an eye on you.  It is very nice to think that you can be absolutely sure that there is at least one being in the universe that cares about you.
