Job Twelve

Even during a great challenge he feels God is responsible for, Job acknowledges that God is powerful. I find it easy to start looking for flaws in God's plan when discomfort sets in. I justify my actions based on the possibility that I read the signs wrong or that "surely, God meant it to happen a different way." Job brings me both great strength and a challenge here.

In the midst of my storm, God is near.
In the turmoil of my day, God is near.
In the love that I feel around me, God is near.
In the hope that I have for my future, God is near.


Heart and Soul,
BAG
