Day 273..."Job wrestles with tough questions...gods as many as cities...Confessing the Lord and being saved"
Job wrestles with the question..."why do wicked people prosper?" This is a theological question known as theodicy. The question still resonates today. Is the fact we have no answer make God's grace and mercy null and void? Absolutely not! Job speaks to the issues many people use as an excuse to turn away from God. Eliphaz offers advice to "agree with God and be at peace." Jeremiah refers to the covenants broken and says there are more powerless gods than cities. Baal worship is condemned. Paul outlines more easy matters of faith. Romans 10:9..."If we confess Jesus is Lord and God has raised in from the dead, we will be saved." Also on a practical note... we hear through a preacher. (Our reason for being a Church is "Bringing Christ to People and People to Christ." Paul also speaks with eloquence... "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news."

The "Church" that Jesus is the head of is not an organization, it is a living entity - a body with many parts, each with an important function. If our organization is to succeed in Christ, each part needs to accept their position and begin to function. The results belongs to the HEAD - Jesus and HE alone gets all the Glory for our successes.
