The Unspeakable Answers of God
There are issues and trials in the course of this life
that leave questions which hang over head.
While our hearts ponder answers or half a reason why
we are left with more questions instead.
But it's there in the fragile, broken nature of life
that we see God in His great, sovereign glory.
And we learn to accept that sovereignty and grace
for the details within our own story.
It's there in the presence of the Almighty Father
where we learn to just look at His face.
And we realize we can't live in our unanswered questions
but we quietly hold them in place.
It's there in the majesty of the Most High God
that we speak the "Hallelujah" unrehearsed.
Then the "why's" and "why not's" no longer have us bound
for His glory has broken that curse.
It's there that we see His undeniable love
that never shifts when the world falls away.
And that love is enough...so much more than enough
to keep us going day-after-day.
It is truly in the course of the mysteries of life
that we see God's grandeur while walking this sod.
For the unanswered questions we hold are eclipsed
by the unspeakable answers of God.

The passage below I share with you in reference to Job, who after his testing sees the glory of God and no longer sees any need to question God regarding any of his trials. but all his questions have been answered by a deeper look at the majesty and glory of God.
Then Job answered the LORD and said: “I know that You can do everything,
And that no purpose of Yours can be withheld from You.
You asked, ‘Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?’
Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand,
Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know. Listen, please, and let me speak;
You said, ‘I will question you, and you shall answer Me.’
“I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear,
But now my eye sees You."
Job 42:1-5 NKJV
