WHEN HUMAN

for today, each adult among us
should ask ourselves 'this ques
tion: "la our idea of Good too
amaU?"
In the early days of Christiani
ty God was, primarily, ifihought of
as being a tribal deity, (rather
than the God of the whole Uod-
versa. Ha was Joeal God, in
volved only in the affairs of the
tribes of Israel. , He was pictured
as toeing concerned 'with intertrib
al Justice, ."with.' family afdtairs,
with fJoclai of anamala and the
simple Industries of tent-lwell-i,
wandering people. When they
were at war with an enemy tribe,
God was thought of as lighting
with them against the enemy and
the, enemy's god. The victory of
one side proved , to both aides
which god wiae Uhe more powerful.
Eventually, however, through
the rising of the prophet Ajmoa,
the Israelites' idea of God ex
panded; and tit expanded still fur
ther, two hundred years Hater
when rtfhe Israelites were captur
ed and carried off to Babylon.
There they found that God 'was
still with them. Audi at this point
it would do well if we were to
piaiuse and ask ourselves this
question: "How large is M!Y God?
Do I have a childish tribal idea
at some points? Where does my
idea of God need' (to grow?
The friends of Job had the
question neatly settled. Their God
was not a problem to them, for he
was made to fit neatly into their
short-eighted views. They were
religious (men, devout and pious,
but with' emafli idea of God.
God (had fceen cut down to size
the adze of their own, ideas. Job
found this to be wonflriess to him.
As he strove to understand his
suffering, he held firmly to a
View , of God which finally ties
beyond human understanding.
Job's God was too big to be un
derstood fully, hut this larger God
turned out to be the real comfort
er to Job.
Job's decision to trust God ev
en when 'he could not understand
why such affliction had come up
on him in such great measure re
minds us that such am attitude is
productive both of character and
of inner peace. When overtaken
by adversity that we do not de
serve, we must do more itihan ac
cept it without self-pity and re
bellion. We must believe that God
in his mercy is with us and will
help us use it for 'good.
A world that makes possible the
growth of human beings requires
freedom. And a world that per
mits freedom makes suffering,
