"Job could not understand what God was doing, and it was important that he not understand. Had Job known that God was using him as a weapon to defeat Satan, he could have simply sat back and waited for trustfully for the battle to end. But as Job surveyed himself and his situation, he asked the same question the disciples asked when Mary anointed the Lord Jesus: "Why this waste?" (Mark 14:4)... Nothing that is given to Christ in faith and love is wasted."
Hmm. This one is a tough one for me. On the one hand, I totally feel like this ALL THE TIME! I feel like it is really important for me to understand what God is doing. Often, He reveals (at least a little bit) of the plan to me, and it brings me great comfort. With the situation with everyone around me right now, I just don't see it, and it hurts not to see it. Would it be better? Is this an example of God testing my faith? Have I given this situation and my reactions to it to God in faith and love? If I did, do I trust Him not to waste it?
