I AM NOTHING
Today's reading: Job 39-40

"Then the Lord said to Job, Do you still want to argue with the Almighty? You are God's critic, but do you have the answers? Then Job replied to the Lord, I am nothing..." Job 40:1-3 NLT

Brace yourself...

I do not always like what God does.

Does that make me a bad Christian? Does that take me down off that pedestal you've placed me on? Does that make you want to cancel your subscription to this devotion and get a refund on your money?

Or does it show you how honestly real I am, because there are times you don't like all He does either?

I cannot tell you I understand God's choices, His methods or His timing.

I cannot tell you I enjoy everything I see Him do, all I watch Him wait on acting on or how desperate looking He allows a situation to get before stepping in.

I cannot tell you I relish His ways, His grand plan or His allotment of issues on certain folks that seem overwhelming to say the least.

I cannot tell you I 'get' God some days...but as Job was forced to come to terms with, I am nothing.

When I completely wrap my mind around exactly how little I am in comparison to the greatness of Who He is, I don't have to like it, understand it, see a purpose in it or 'get' it--I can trust that He is.

He is.

Period.
