THAT VERSE AGAIN
Today's reading:  Job 15-16

"Are God's promises not enough for you, spoken so gently and tenderly?  Why do you let your emotions take over, lashing out and spitting fire."  Job 15:11-12 MSG

I've been writing devotions for 11 years now.

I've been using the same Bible reading schedule that whole time.

Every year, and some of you who have followed my devotions for a while know, God leads me to stop on this very verse.

Because I need it.

Because it's so jam-packed with truth.

Because it's an area I struggle with.

Because He loves me so.

He tenderly delivers His Word to me in teaspoon-sized morsels that I can digest.  He carefully and lovingly allows me to re-visit the verses I need to develop a taste for.  He spoon feeds me His Word--even the verses that may be offensive or distasteful to me.

Like this verse.

The very verse we're on again this morning, God and I.

And as I look over the past year, month, week and twenty-four hours--I've still not gotten it!

But I will.  You see, He's not leaving me undone--and I'm not leaving His side!  This verse will one day play out in my words, actions, responses and reactions--because He loves me!
