LIFE
Today's reading: Job 11-12

"For the life of every living this is in his hand, and the breath of all humanity." Job 12:10 NLT

Maybe you have just returned from a 5-mile run.

Or you have just gotten home from the gym and an extensive workout with weights.

Or have just carried three fifty-pound bags of feed out to the barn. 

Maybe your strength was revealed in the fact that you got out of bed this morning, on your own--even when you didn't want to.

Or that you have gone 'X' number of days without a drink, or a cigarette, or an ounce of flour or sugar.

How strong you are!

And yet...

In your muscle-y strength, your next heart's beat and your next breath are given to you by God.

Anything at all you do, is through Him.

Don't you think that in our pride and arrogance, and forgetfulness, we absentmindedly remove that truth from our thinking.

We are nothing without God.

We have nothing without God.

We can do nothing without God.

The live we live and the breaths we take--all are from His hand!
