Words without Knowledge.

(Job 38:1-2) - Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?

Inspite of all that happened to Job, he did not sin with his lips. He had all the reasons in the whole world to blame God for suffering for the sin he has not committed, and he didn't say a thing against God, instead he kept blaming himself. But this wasn’t so with the world around him. His closest friends and brethren blamed him for everything! They said he has “skeletons in his closet” and not innocent, not knowing they were counselling him with “words without knowledge”. This is a sinful thing before the LORD, when we say things we don’t know the whole truth about and then spread it like cancer.

Whenever it comes to the kingdom of God, His Christ, the Church, the Ministers and Saints, PLEASE DO NOT SAY WORDS WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE. No matter how true it may sound, leave no condemning comments. Wait for the Master to deal with the situation (internally). Refrain yourself from any of such videos, mails, etc., and be not a partaker of it, less you bring a curse on yourself. And if you think you know everything, PLEASE first answer all the questions in Job 38 -41. If you are able to, then do as it pleases you.

After all that is said to Job, the LORD rebuked them by saying: “…for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.”(Job 42:7). They thought they were right, and never knew what they were saying. How could they have been able to put the puzzle together - that an innocent man is afflicted for what he knows nothing about?! Therefore, judge righteously.

…and Job concluded with this:

(Job 42:3) - Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
There are puzzling “things too wonderful” to understand without first seeking the LORD to have a full understanding of. Let us ask Him for He will hide nothing from us. To not do this is to disrespect Him.
