We shall all stand before the judgment seat of God.—Rom. 14:10.
Although none of us would deliberately want to judge God, our imperfect nature can lead us down this path. This can easily happen when we see something that we view as unfair or if we personally suffer hardship. Even the faithful man Job made this mistake. When beset by a series of calamities that to him appeared to be unfair, Job was led to declare “his own soul righteous rather than God.” (Job 32:1, 2) Job, however, did not know of the meetings of the angelic sons of God in heaven where Satan falsely accused him. (Job 1:7-12; 2:1-6) He did not realize that his problems were actually caused by Satan. In fact, we cannot be certain that Job even knew the true identity of Satan! So he wrongly assumed that his problems were caused by God. Therefore, if we find ourselves thinking similarly, remember that it is easy to come to the wrong conclusion when we do not know all the facts. w10 10/15 2:9-11
