Summary

Can I trust God's sovereignty when I don't see the wicked being punished? Today Emma Dotter is joined by Lauren Fricke as they talk about Job 18. Lauren confesses her original timidity to the book of Job, and how it combats her desire for control. But, we do know that when life is unfair, we have to trust God and trust that he will take care of punishment in the end.

Additional Scripture used in this podcast:
Romans 13:1-3, “Let every person be subject to the governing authorities…”
Isaiah 55:9, “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

0:26.1	In high school.
0:27.5	And if you've been listening to join the journey for a while, you know that on most Wednesdays

0:58.3	We'll link that in the description. I want to know what's one thing listeners can pray for your
1:03.4	generation, whether the person listening is a kid or an adult. How can they pray for the next
1:08.0	generation? Probably just to have a greater dependency on God.
1:11.9	I know today's culture is trying to encourage us to take control of our own lives and be self-reliant.
1:19.1	And just with the example of COVID-hitting, we don't have control over everything.
