Job 3:20-22 

20 “Why is light given to him who is in misery,
And life to the bitter of soul,
21 Who long  for death, but it does not come,
And search for it more than hidden treasures;
22 Who rejoice exceedingly,
And are glad when they can find the grave?

 

Why?

 

Why is life given to them who are bitter in soul?

Who does really know?

 

Why is light given to them who are in misery?

Who will He show?

 

Why are scales of calamity prepared when at peace?

Who is the foe?

 

When we’re lost in purpose and unrecognized

are we just “John Doe”?

 

Why are His Ways hidden?

Why are His Thoughts so high?

How does He weigh the grief

and emotional burdens?

 

So great the pains of living

by all who are on earth.

How could God be so forgiving

and provide a second birth?
