Thinkings.....

If you are like me, I like it when things go according to the plan. Neat. Easy. Organized. Planned. No hitches. Just easy peasey. Why am I surprised when I am reminded life is not that way? Life is messy. Life is turbulant. Life is real. I can be honest with God and with myself!

'But he said to her (Job to his wife), "You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. Shall we receive good from God, and shall we not receive evil?" In all this Job did not sin with his lips.' Job 2:10

I like Job! I want to be like Job! I must admit though that I understand his wife's struggle, even though she is way wrong. I have never said what she did, yet I have known the frustration of trying to 'figure' things out. God tells me in His word that somethings are not to be figured out. We walk by faith not by sight. He knows what He is doing. I can rest. I must rejoice in the process of what He is doing. Sight is way easier yet it is not the walk of faith for the christian.

So I wait. I trust. I pray. I hold on to my Lord and learn to lean on Him. I seek His face. His grace is abundant to me. He knows, He cares, He is in control, and He will glorify HIMSELF in my life as I run to HIM! So I run to HIM daily and ask HIM to help me be like Job ~ trusting Him who is faithful!

Gratefully His, Lynette

PS. Here I am...'humming' again! It's a good thing!
