At the end of the Book of Job God responds to all the accusations that Job has made about the unfairness of his life. Instead of justifying the divine actions, God, somewhat snarkily, demands that Job look at the magnificence of creation — the implication being if God can figure out how to spin the stars and fill the oceans, shouldn’t you trust the divine plan! Modern astronomy has continued to be amazed at the breadth of the universe. There are at least a billion trillion stars (that’s 1 with 22 zeros.) We should feel humbled by that reality but also grateful that despite the vastness of all that is, God has a personal care and consideration for every single individual who has ever lived. So trust, already.
