WHO ARE WE THAT GOD THINKS OF US?
Job doesn’t accuse God of being absent, but of being too present. He doesn’t blame his suffering on being forsaken by the Lord as most would do. No. He questions why God would be so interested in such weak, temporal things as man. Out of all of creation, why would God care so much for us? Job had lost nearly everything that he loved, yet he did not lose his faith in God. Like Jacob, he wrestled with God for answers, but did not doubt the One who caused him to walk with a limp.
PRAYER: Father, we are amazed at the thoughts You have of us. That You even consider us is wonderful, but that you think of us always, is beyond understanding. Not only do You constantly think of us, but You have given us Your Son that we might be Your children. What an awesome God You are! We worship You and surrender our lives to You afresh this day. In Jesus’ name, amen.
