The Lord is just and generous. Everything is a test. How many will be tested in order for one Jobe to be found? How many trials must I undergo in order to prove to myself that I am worthy?
The Lord creates the environment. He calls on us to be as Noah, to prepare and adapt to it. He gives no justification.
In his wisdom, he leads us from slavery through the desert. We place our trust in him. He lays us down in green pastures, he leads us beside the still waters.
