KNOWING, REALLY KNOWING
Today's reading:  Job 41-42

Job, the blameless man of integrity.  Job, the one who feared God and stayed away from evil.  Job, the one chosen of God to stand up against satan's test.  Job, the man of God.

Job--the man who stated, he didn't know God fully until God had walked Him through the toughest times he'd ever experienced.

"I had heard about you before, but not I have seen you, with my own eyes."  Job 42:5 NLT 

He thought he knew Him--until He really knew Him.

Maybe the same could be said of you.

Would you have known how deeply He cared for you without your trip with Him over the mountain?

Would you have known how trustworthy He was had you not ridden out the storm with Him?

Would you be fully, personally aware of His faithfulness to you without the battle, the scars and the time spent huddled in a foxhole with Him right beside you?

Would you know, really know, how sufficient His grace is had you not needed so much of it in so many areas of your life?

There's knowing Him and there's really knowing Him.
