I love the book of Job! I can really relate to that guy. As a matter of fact when my first husband Rob was dealing with cancer, we compared ourselves to Job a lot. One of Rob's favorite sayings was, "Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him." Kind of a hard concept to wrap your head around, but what a creed to live by.
I was reading in Job the other day. Job 42:1-6....I am reading in the New Living Translation and verse 5 says this...(Job speaking)...."I had heard about you before, but now I have seen you with my own eyes". I called this in my journal...the Ah-Ha moment. That moment when you stop hearing about how GREAT God is and you see it for yourself.
So what is your Ah-Ha moment? I've had several. I think the greatest one for me however came on September 28, 2001 at 2:20 AM in the morning. It was then that the drugs from my emergency
c-section had worn off, then that the Doctor's declared my little Rosebud okay and I held her for the very first time, my miracle baby girl. When the promise that God gave you comes to pass you can't help but have that Ah-Ha moment.
But I could also tell you that I sometimes have that Ah-Ha Moment when I look at His creation. When I see the stars...or yes, hear the rolling thunder! I thank HIM for my Ah-Ha moments when they come. I am anxious for that wonderful Ah-Ha moment, "when my faith shall be my sight", and I shall behold HIM face to face.
Just loving you more today Father...than I did yesterday.
