My Everything
I recently read an interesting quote, "The enemy thought he had taken "everything" from Job. But Job's everything was God." I've been pondering on this. If your week has been anything like mine everything seems to have gone wrong. All the rain and storms has brought flooding, knocked out power and puts us in gloomy moods. The gloominess can dim our view of perspective and cheerfulness. I sat down this morning and made a list of things that have gotten to me this week taking into thought this quote that my everything is God. It looked a little like this: My everything isn't my car. My everything isn't my health or my weight. My everything isn't technology, or social media, or WiFi. My everything isn't lack of having a spouse or children. My everything isn't whether people like me. Job's words were "I know my Redeemer lives, though my flesh be destroyed, I will see Him in my flesh." Nothing in life can happen to us
