Two different life styles, who can teach knowledge to God

Job 21:1-34

Then Job replied: “Listen carefully to my words; let this be the consolation you give me. Bear with me while I speak, and after I have spoken, mock on. Is my complaint directed to a human being? Why should I not be impatient? Look at me and be appalled; clap your hand over your mouth. When I think about this, I am terrified; trembling seizes my body.

Why do the wicked live on, growing old and increasing in power? They see their children established around them, their offspring before their eyes. Their homes are safe and free from fear; the rod of God is not on them.

They spend their years in prosperity and go down to the grave in peace. Yet they say to God, ‘Leave us alone! We have no desire to know your ways. Who is the Almighty, that we should serve him? What would we gain by praying to him?’ But their prosperity is not in their own hands, so I stand aloof from the plans of the wicked.

It is said, ‘God stores up the punishment of the wicked for their children.’   Let him repay the wicked, so that they themselves will experience it! Let their own eyes see their destruction;  let them drink the cup of the wrath of the Almighty. For what do they care about the families they leave behind when their allotted months come to an end?

Can anyone teach knowledge to God, since he judges even the highest? One person dies in full vigor, completely secure and at ease, well nourished in body, bones rich with marrow. Another dies in bitterness of soul, never having enjoyed anything good. Side by side they lie in the dust, and worms cover them both.

The soil in the valley is sweet to them; everyone follows after them, and a countless throng goes before them.

Why?

No one can teach knowledge to God, we don't know why there are unfair and injustice things happen in this world. It doesn't mean every evildoer has a bad life or been punished when he is living.

To be a human being what we can do is trust in the Lord and do our best to obey the word of the Lord. Our eyes should look to eternal life instead of the short life in this world.

How?

Trust in the Lord, my way, my life, and my living style are decided by the Lord. What I can do is obey the words of the Lord. God is my master and I am His servant.
