KNOW
Today's reading: Job 39-42

"Do you know..." Job 39:1 NLT

Know-to have understanding of; to be aware of the truth or factuality of.

I think these are my favorite words in the entire book of Job.

These words, 'Do you know...', are faith-settlers for me.

When I question God.

When I question the circumstances I find myself in.

When I question His timing.

When I question what I see, hear or feel.

When I question the fact that I just don't like what I'm going through...

I hear God say to me, 'Do you know?'

And it quickly reminds me that, no, I do not!

I don't know what God has in store.

I don't know when God's perfect time is.

I don't know why I have to wait, hurt, struggle or learn.

I don't know who needs to be readied, heart and mind, for the things of God to overwhelm.

When my faith struggles, I find hope in the words of God, 'Do you know?', because I also hear Him say, 'I do, child.'
