Job 33

Job 33:13
"Why do you complain against Him
That He does not give an account of all His doings?
Elihu claims to be speaking from God here, though I question his accuracy in that.  However, he does raise a valid point here.  What right do we have to complain that God doesn't explain Himself?  Is He a child who has to account for his whereabouts, so that His parents know what's happening?

Rather, He is the parent.  However, He doesn't need us to tell Him where we go or what we do; He already knows it all.  He is the one with the master plan, and the one who knows everything that has happened and will happen.  He has the account, but He is under no circumstances compelled or obligated to reveal it to us.  In fact, if we knew, oftentimes we would be embarrassed or humbled by what He is causing/allowing to happen.
