Today’s Thought “Only Grandeur Please?” G. Ward

 Then Job arose and tore his robe and shaved his head, and he fell to the ground and worshiped. He said, “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I shall return there. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.” Through all this Job did not sin nor did he blame God.” Job 1:20-22

 

While more songs and chants seek to convey comfort with an insistence that struggle for man is not God proposed, His word declares numerous examples in opposite (Mk.6:27-29, Jn.11:4, Heb.11:13,14,36-39). Are we truly prepared to receive good and bad? Think on this: Many who lived more righteously than our current wave in belief, died of sickness; looking forward to home whereby disease and pain is non-existent. Our generational demand subtracts from prudent study of God’s word, moving quickly unto narcissism and love (without proper stewardship) of the earth (cf. 2 Ti.3:1-2).

Real worship’s contingency accepts graciously, the things of Holy God, understanding that usage by our Great King of Perpetuity is an honor and privilege. Take heart; trouble isn’t lasting…

Happy Friday!
