i continued reading the end of Job today. it's such a humbling read. it reminds me just how small i am and how NOT in control i am. and how often i get in the mindset of "oh i have everything under control, life's going great" or the opposite where i worry worry worry about life's trials. i fail to acknowledge that God knows infinitely more than i do, He knows what's going on, and there's not 1 single thing i can fully control. i love also how God points out animals to Job and says "look at how much time and care i put into them - and they're animals. how much more do i care for you!"
on another topic, i love this song by Shane & Shane called "I Miss You". it's a song about those times when you don't set aside time to spend with the Lord and you feel farther away from Him. the song's about yearning for the Lord, to be close to Him again. a few of the lines go like this:
"Oh - i miss You so...it feels like forever.
Oh - the taste i know...it hurts to remember.
i had a fleeting thought this morning. and i mentioned You today.
it breaks my heart, just to know You in part.
not to be with You, where You are..."
good song. :)
keep it real.
