VOOR IN DIE KOOR: Wie is hierdie God?
CHRIS CHAMELEON - 23/12/2007 10:51:13 PM - (SA)

WIE is hierdie God van wie julle so praat? Wie is hierdie God wat
kinders kaal in die strate laat loop met een hand op die maag en
die ander op die mond? Wat aasvoëls agter kinders aan voor
kanonne laat aansit vir die maal?

Wie is hierdie God wat vliegtuie in geboue vas laat jaag en dan
skaapwagters flenters blaas? Wie is hierdie God wat altyd wyser
is, altyd beter weet?

Wie is hierdie God wat al Afrika se regerings bewillig het?

Wie is hierdie God sonder wie se wil geen gif bedink word nie?
Wat seuns van hul pa’s vervreem en dogters hul moeders laat
verag?

Wie is hierdie God wat skilpaaie in veldbrande laat vrek? Wat
pes en plaag en MIV toelaat?

Wie is hierdie God wat alles tel, wat alles weet, ook hoeveel
geld daar is en wie dit het en waarom? Onder wie se toesig
sommige te veel het, baie te min en sommige geen?

Wie is hierdie God wat 15 rugbyspelers laat wen en die res
van die wêreld laat verloor? Wat die woord wat ’n oorlog
bestel op televisie, oor die radio en in koerante toelaat, en
die woord van een man se vrye denke in By verbied?

Wie is hierdie God in wie se naam daar jare lank onderdruk
word, en wat dan die bordjies verhang?

Wie is hierdie God wat elkeen ’n ander deel van Hom laat sien,
en hulle mekaar dan laat doodmaak oor dit wat die ander nié
in Hom sien nie?

Wie is hierdie God wat skepsels van sy eie ontwerp teen
mekaar laat haat praat en wedersyds die gees en liggaam
martel?

Wie is hierdie God wie se ewebeeld die liefde verloën? En die
liefde verraai . . . Sy grootste gawe so dikwels verwronge
gelaat deur die gevolg van Sy almagtige toestemming,
daarstelling en verlaat, o verlaat?

Wie is hierdie God wat die antwoord op elke vraag ken en
soms gee – en soms nie?

En wie is hierdie God wat die vuur op die einder van ’n
Hoëveldoggend bestel? Wat elke sekonde van die Karoo se
vreedsaamheid, enige tyd, daagliks, getrou toesien?

Wie is hierdie God wat vir die musikant die sleutel tot die hart
gee? Wat die kinders so laat lag? En wat weet wanneer die
voëltjies by die bak gaan kom sit?

Wie is hierdie God wat twee miljoen jaar gelede al geweet het
hoe jou dogter vanoggend jou hart sou laat lag, dit tóé al
bepaal het?

Wie is hierdie God dat Sy naam deur dié wat al die langste
met die wete van sy bestaan op aarde leef, Hom nooit by die
naam durf roep nie?

Wie is hierdie God wat lug en die son gun aan dié wat Hom
haat, in gelyke mate met dié wat Hom daarvoor bedank?

Wie is hierdie God wat glimlagge aan die armes van gees
skenk? Wat die hart heel waar dit stukkend gebreek is?

Wie is hierdie God wat bó die begrip van die filosoof, die uiting
van die kunstenaar en die ontwerp van die argitek verkeer,
maar dan ’n kind laat begryp?

En wie is hierdie God wat in sy naam laat red, moor, haat, lag,
steel, breek, min, dien en slaap?

.

HIERDIE God is nie soos ons Hom beskryf nie, maar ons pogings
daartoe het al tot van die wêreld se grootste kuns gelei.

Hy is nie die God wat ons ooit volkome kan besing nie, maar
ons kry lekker en voel nader aan Hom wanneer ons probeer.

Hy is nie die God waaroor ons stry nie – ’n argument wat nog
nooit deur enigiemand gewen is nie.

Hy is nie die God wat ons in strokiesprente verkleineer nie. Hy
is nie die God wat die VSA straf of die God wat Irak regsien nie.

Hy is nie die God wie se naam gekaap kan word vir persoonlike
gewin nie. Want hierdie God ontwyk alle definisie of bewoording.
Hy word genoem God, Allah, chaos, oerknal, toeval, Sy, Shiva,
ensovoorts, maar is altyd minder of méér as wat gesê of gedink
kan word.

Ek vertrou nie iemand wat sê dit of dat is God se wil nie, want
ek vermoed hy wil sy wil aan my opdwing. As iemand sê God
dink dit of dat, dan wil ek weet waar hy sy begrip van God se
denke kry. As iemand vir my sê God haat dit of dat, wonder ek
of die God van die liefde haatdraend is. As iemand vir my sê God
is jaloers, wonder ek of jaloesie kan bestaan vir Een aan wie alles
behoort.

En iemand wat namens God oordeel, het êrens duidelik die pad
byster geraak oor waar die perke van sy gesag le.

Persoonlik vra ek God niks nie en dank Hom daagliks. Ek betwyfel
nie die grensloosheid van Sy genade nie.

En ten slotte: As jy vir my kan sê wie hierdie God is, dan weet ek
dit is beslis nie Hy nie.

PostSubject: Job 1   Wie is hierdie God? EmptySun Dec 30, 2007 4:10 pm




Prologue

1 In the land of Uz there lived a man whose name was Job. This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil. 2 He had seven sons and three daughters, 3
and he owned seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred
yoke of oxen and five hundred donkeys, and had a large number of
servants. He was the greatest man among all the people of the East. 4
His sons used to take turns holding feasts in their homes, and they
would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. 5
When a period of feasting had run its course, Job would send and have
them purified. Early in the morning he would sacrifice a burnt offering
for each of them, thinking, "Perhaps my children have sinned and cursed
God in their hearts." This was Job's regular custom. Job's First Test

6 One day the angels [a] came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan [b] also came with them. 7 The LORD said to Satan, "Where have you come from?"
Satan answered the LORD, "From roaming through the earth and going back and forth in it." 8
Then the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? There
is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who
fears God and shuns evil." 9 "Does Job fear God for nothing?" Satan replied. 10
"Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything
he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and
herds are spread throughout the land. 11 But stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face."

12 The LORD said to Satan, "Very well, then, everything he has is in your hands, but on the man himself do not lay a finger."

18 While he was still
speaking, yet another messenger came and said, "Your sons and daughters
were feasting and drinking wine at the oldest brother's house, 19
when suddenly a mighty wind swept in from the desert and struck the
four corners of the house. It collapsed on them and they are dead, and
I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!"

20 At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship 21 and said:
"Naked I came from my mother's womb,
and naked I will depart. [c]
The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away;
may the name of the LORD be praised."

1 On another day the angels [a] came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came with them to present himself before him. 2 And the LORD said to Satan, "Where have you come from?"
Satan answered the LORD, "From roaming through the earth and going back and forth in it." 3
Then the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? There
is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who
fears God and shuns evil. And he still maintains his integrity, though
you incited me against him to ruin him without any reason." (Satan means accuser )

4 "Skin for skin!" Satan replied. "A man will give all he has for his own life. 5 But stretch out your hand and strike his flesh and bones, and he will surely curse you to your face."

7 So Satan went out from
the presence of the LORD and afflicted Job with painful sores from the
soles of his feet to the top of his head. 8 Then Job took a piece of broken pottery and scraped himself with it as he sat among the ashes. 9 His wife said to him, "Are you still holding on to your integrity? Curse God and die!" 10 He replied, "You are talking like a foolish [b] woman. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?"
In all this, Job did not sin in what he said.

Job 41:1-34 God sets out Who He is and proclaims His sovereignty as also
His mercy …








1 "Can you pull in the
leviathan [a] with a fishhook




or tie down his tongue with a
rope?








2 Can you put a cord through his
nose




or pierce his jaw with a hook?





3 Will he keep begging you for
mercy?




Will he speak to you with
gentle words?








4 Will he make an agreement with you



for you to take him as your
slave for life?

Quote :
If you lay a hand on him,



you will remember the struggle
and never do it again!







9 Any hope of subduing him is false;



the mere sight of him is
overpowering.








10 No one is fierce enough to rouse
him.

Who then is able to stand
against me?








11 Who has a claim against me that I
must pay?




Everything under heaven
belongs to me.

Job 42

Job

1 Then Job replied to the LORD : 2 "I know that you can do all things;
no plan of yours can be thwarted. 3 You asked, 'Who is this that obscures my counsel without knowledge?'
Surely I spoke of things I did not understand,
things too wonderful for me to know. 4 "You said, 'Listen now, and I will speak;
I will question you,
and you shall answer me.' 5 My ears had heard of you
but now my eyes have seen you. 6 Therefore I despise myself
and repent in dust and ashes."

PostSubject: The aweaome God - His mercy   Wie is hierdie God? EmptySun Dec 30, 2007 6:13 pm

In this the Epilogue , Job 42:7-14 , God shows His mercy to those who ill-advised Job ...


7 After
the LORD had said these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite,
"I am angry with you and your two friends, because you have not spoken
of me what is right, as my servant Job has. 8
So now take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and
sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for
you, and I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to
your folly. You have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job
has." 9 So Eliphaz the
Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite did what the
LORD told them; and the LORD accepted Job's prayer.
