Objection Overruled Today's Three-minute Bible Study Print, Study and Apply Title: Objection Overruled-------------------------------- Date: 10/28/2000 Keyword: "faith" "justice" Welcome to eXXit, the web site designed to help you stand strong in the face of sexual temptation. Passage: Job 41:11* "Who has a claim against me that I must pay? Everything under heaven belongs to me." Questions 1. What is the upshot of God's pronouncement in this verse?   2. How does it apply to you?   Practical help Maybe it's "The Practice." Or "The Pelican Brief." Or "Inherit the Wind," that lopsided ode to Darwinism. Whether it's on TV, on screen or on stage, we love our courtroom battles. Presiding over matters of life and death, judges promote the right and thwart the wrong — or vice versa. In exercises of sheer power, the judges meet out some version of justice in response to complaints. People who struggle with Web porn also voice a complaint: "God, why did you make me this way? Why can't I resist this temptation?" Sometimes, he answers with forgiveness (see yesterday's study). But sometimes he answers with the whirlwind. Consider Job. He'd done nothing to deserve his fate and had every reason to fling why-me salvos to the heavens. Unfortunately, he got the tough answer God gives us from time to time. The bottom line? "I made you and can do with you what I will." Objection overruled. The whirlwind convinced Job that God had a point. Minus the whirlwind, we need faith to get the message. Ask God for the faith to accept his handiwork. The Judge of souls deserves — and accepts — no less. eXXit homepage Index of three-minute studies Copyright 2000 by eXXit *Scriptures are from The Holy Bible: New International Version © Copyright 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society.
