After 10 days of wading through his “pushing it” moments, his “right on target moments” and his friends’ “poor theology” moments in Job, it was such a breath of fresh air to read God’s response this morning. There was no need to decipher or question and try to figure out the real message behind the Words. It was a clear-cut humbling as God explained only a fraction of his Omniscience and Omnipotence. Whenever you need a pride kicker, fellow Older brothers of the Prodigal son (I’m speaking to myself here too), jump into chapter 38 and 39 of Job. It’s just not possible to leave those chapters feeling mighty.<\/p>\n
Yet what a great God that even in our righteous indignation moments, He stoops down to correct us because we have the privilege of being His kids.<\/p>\n
The Privilege.<\/p>\n
He doesn’t need us.<\/p>\n
He wants us.<\/p>\n
“Slightly off’ in so many moments, ‘a little too prideful’ in so many moments, sinful and ‘battling out this flesh and Spirit” us.<\/p>\n
What a privilege to be His.<\/p>\n
– Thanks for the reminder in Job.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
