Job 40:2 Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? He that reproveth God, let him answer it.
After God appeared to Job in a whirlwind and He asked him about a hundred questions, God basically said, “Just who in the world do you think you are? You are arguing with Me? I’m the Almighty Creator, and you’re not. Are you going to tell me how to run my universe? You are rebuking Me, as if I am doing it wrong. You can’t even answer My questions about Creation. How in the world are you going to answer questions about My morality and character?”
Who is in the right and who is in the wrong? The creature, much less the sinner, cannot know what’s in My mind unless I tell him. I am God, and I know what I am doing. I have kind intentions for you. You just can’t see it now. You just have to learn to trust Me, that I am good and I have your best interests in mind. When you see my Son and hear the Gospel, then you will know. For now, Only Believe.
As sinners, we may also argue with God when things aren’t going as well as we want. To ask “Why?” is to challenge Him and make ourselves equal to God, even becoming gods ourselves. “God is wrong to do this to me. I don’t deserve this. I am not that bad. If I were God….” In our prideful stupidity we actually think we would do a better job than He is. So we argue with Him and rebuke Him. And we do it in many different ways, instead of letting God be God and surrendering to His will. We pray, “Your will be done on earth (in my life), as it has already been determined in heaven (where You live).” It takes the miracle of faith to say, “God is good, and He working all things together for my good.” God said it. I believe it.
