Devotional for Job 38

Written by Campus Missionary Mary Rowley, Job 38:4-18 I really appreciate this passage from Job because it’s a conversation we’d all like to have with God – at least, we think we would. We’d all like to have God tell us the reasons behind the bad things that happen in our lives. We want to…
