Today I am thankful for: cooler weather, seeing hummingbirds at our feeder, my nap!, Darrin being fever-free since morning, talking to my mom this evening, kids cleaning up well, cozy covers at bedtime, Madi's sweet voice (I never tire of it!), getting kids' bathrooms clean, Madi as a fire-breathing purple dragon <3
Poor Job! The man suffered so much pain (physical and emotional) and loss, and his peers weren't able to offer any encouragement. I admit it gets a bit grating to read all of his lamentations and prayers, but when I consider the scope of his devastation it puts it all in perspective. Even though he gets angry with God, he never fails to believe that he would be found "innocent" of his sins. What a glimpse for us at this thing called spiritual warfare! I know that I can't (and don't) fault Job for all his complaining. I realize that I'm crying out to God nearly as much due to my insomnia. I wonder why I'm suffering from it, why no one seems to be able to help me. Did I do something wrong? At this point. all I know is that God is my strength and He alone gets me through my days. I'm not sure if this is something I'll have to endure perpetually, but I know that there's a reason even if it's like Job's case of spiritual warfare, If that the case for me then I'm humbled to be deemed worthy of notice--perhaps it means my faith is growing! Praise God for He is my strength and my shield! Thank You, Lord, for being my champion, my protector!
