INSPIRASUNS

My husband and I were talking last night at dinner. I commented on some of the quirky or weird things that had happened over the week. He agreed and said, “Yeah, there was weirdness, but it works out, and many times what solved it was weird!” I laughed at that.

He then went on to say that it reminds him of the Book of Job. “What an intense book”, he said. “Job trusted God, he wouldn’t bend on that. But he was tested, satan was awful to Job, but he never broke. There was a time when Job wanted God just to end it and take him, but he never gave in to satan. In the end, God said enough and took care of satan.” My husband wasn’t implying that the week was filled with times as difficult as Job’s, his point was through everything that was thrown at Job he always trusted God. In the end, God took care of Job and rewarded him for his faithfulness. I’m thinking I need to go back and reread Job, and this time focus a little more when I do.

I’m grateful for the conversations my husband and I have these days. He’s helping me to see things more clearly in the Bible, and he’s helping me to see how much they relate to our present times.

Father knows what is going to happen today. He knows how I will react, and what I will do. I believe He always hopes that I will turn to Him first, open the door, and walk over to Him. Sometimes I do just that, unfortunately, many times I don’t, I try to go it alone, and most times that doesn’t work too well. I’m learning and growing every day, and those times when I don’t turn to Him first are shrinking 🙂 .

Friends, there will be weirdness in our days, and many times weirdness will be what solves it. Regardless of the weird or the difficult, stay strong in faith and know that Father will take care of it and us.

Have a great day everyone. Though it’s chilly here in SW Florida the sun is finally shining again 🙂 .

Job 1:21-22
And he said, “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.” In all this Job did not sin or charge God with wrong.
