THINKING OF US
Today's reading: Job 7-8
"What are mere mortals, that you should make so much of us? For you examine us every morning and test us every moment." Job 7:17-18 NLT
To think God thinks of us is overwhelming.
In Job's case, it was negatively overwhelming. He would have just as soon been overlooked because of all the turmoil and tears it brought to his life.
But in most of our lives, we are humbled to know our Creator has us on His mind. We are giddy to think He pulses through our veins. We are ecstatic to ponder the very notion that He forms our lungs, fills our lungs and uses our lungs to praise Him.
We are brought low to think of all the ways He blesses us. All the gifts He provides. All the ways He watches over us, protects us, guides us, loves on us, desires for us ONLY the best.
Like every morning when He, or our alarm clock, rouses us from slumber to greet a new day! A new day prepared by Him, prepared for Him, prepared for Him to receive the glory through--and we are allowed to be that conduit.
Or in every choice we're called to make, He is on the edge of His kingly seat waiting to see if we will pick Him! Pick Me, he leans in..Pick Me! Choose that way, He whispers, it's the best way for you!
So this morning think about God thinking about you. Allow the very thought to fill your spirit, to touch your heart, to direct you towards Him.
