I think the answer to this is found in Job 42:1-6: "Then Job answered the Lord, and said, 'I know that thou canst do everything, and that no thought can be witholden from thee. Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore have I uttered that I understand not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not. Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak : I will demand of thee, and declare unto me. I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee. Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes." The problem of Job is that he is made to see himself! Who is he to question God! Job in his self-righteousness lacked humility in the presence of God! Even believers can become self assured! Sometimes affliction may come to purify thinking! God is God. 1 Corinthians 11:31,32; Romans 3:23:
