IN OUR HEARTS
Today's reading: Job 9-10

"His great works are too marvelous to understand. He performs miracles without number. Yet when he comes near, I cannot see him. When he moves on, I do not see him go." Job 9:10-11 NLT

The sunrises we can view. Their pinks, reds, oranges and yellows lighting up the dark night.

The babies we can hold in our arms. Their newness, their uniqueness, their delicates parts knit in the secret places.

The blades of grass we can touch with our fingers. Trace their veining, view their growth over a day's time.

The cool breeze we can feel on our skin. We can watch as it shakes the leaves in the trees and the surface of the waters.

The snowflakes we can watch as they fall, creatively crafted in the heavens. Their points and angles determined by God.

And when we cannot see Him? When we cannot sense His presence, trace His fingertprints or cling to His robe? When the darkness of the night, the storm or the situation robs our vision?

We must know.

We must carry God in our hearts, minds and spirits.

We must trust. Blindly. Wholeheartedly. Faithfully.

Because of our efforts, our abilities, our belief, our faith?

No.

Because He is!
