Does God make mistakes?

 Read Job 34. 

Did God mistreat Job by allowing these things to happen? 

Elihu continued to unload, not only on Job, but also on the other three men.  Job had questioned what God was doing and why.  The so-called friends judged that Job had brought this on himself.  Elihu defended God: "...far be it from God that he should do wickedness, and from the Almighty that he should do wrong."  (v.10) 

       My Father's Way

"My Father's way may twist and turn,

   My heart may throb and ache,

But in my soul I'm glad I know,

   He maketh no mistake.

 

"My cherished plans may go astray,

   My hopes may fade away,

But still I'll trust my Lord to lead

   For he doth know the way.

 

"Tho' night be dark and it may seem

   That day will never break;

I'll pin my faith, my all in Him,

   He maketh no mistake.

 

"There's so much now I cannot see,

   My eyesight's far too dim,

But come what may, I'll simply trust

   And leave it all to Him.

 

"For by and by the mist will lift

   And plain it all He'll make,

Through all the way, tho' dark to me,

   He made not one mistake."
