Were you there?

“Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?  Tell me, if you understand.  Who marked off its dimensions?  Surely you know!”

Job 38 4-5a

This morning I opened the Word.  He did not disappoint.  Have you read the account of Job lately?  Chapters 38-40 were my favorite.  When the Lord clears the air and communicates just who He is.  He is almighty God, Creator, Just, and Powerful.

Believe me, this morning I was humbled as my sinful, prideful heart always gets in the way.  It was good to be reminded of just who God is and what He has done.  And what I cannot do.

After months of snow, I’m glad I know who keeps the storehouses and gives orders to let it loose.  Read it again, stand in awe of our creator God who awakens the day by ordering in the morning and showing the dawn it’s place.

I can trust him.  And so can you.

For His wrath is but for a moment.  His tender mercies are new every day.  He loves me just as I am.  He is incredibly good.

“I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.  I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name.”

Psalm 9:1-2
