NOTHING
Today's reading: Job 39-40

Job.

The name elicits fear in the hearts of those who dare to think what happened to him, might happen to them.

His life is referred to when we hope to minister to another, encourage or promote trust in God.

His victory pushes us to believe in God's bigger plan, God's greater purpose, God's holy reasons.

His story is captured in the summary of one verse...

"Then Job replied to the Lord, I am nothing--..." Job 40:3 NLT

When Job remembered who he was in comparison to Who God is/was/will be, questions stopped and realization set in. When He paused to account for the sovereignty of God and the miniscule role he himself played, there was nothing else he could say.

Is it time for the story of your life to have the same written of it? Are you ready for your purpose to be revealed not in who you are, but in what He will be glorified for? Are you prepared to come to grips with the nothing-ness of yourself and the greatness of our Creator?

It will be a turning point in your life that others will set as examples in how they live, what they endure and the legacy they leave.
