This week I started a reading a chronological Bible reading plan. The last couple days I have been reading Job. I look at all that was taken from Job and I wonder to myself if I would've been able to praise God despite it all. I was convicted of how much I complain at the little troubles I experience in life. Jobs words to his wife were so convicting as he said, "Shall we receive good from God, and shall we not receive evil?"
As I read these words, I had to ask myself if this was true in my heart. It is so easy to praise God when you are receiving blessings but do you find your self blessing and praising God in your pain, struggles, and the disasters of your life? The real heart of the matter is whether you believe God is sovereign and good in both the wonderful times and the painful times? It can be tough to accept God's goodness in the hard times of life but His goodness never changes.
I am so thankful that we have a good God. I hope that my life can better express my love for Him no matter the situation of my life. I hope I can live a life that reflects my trust in Him always. I hope I can always remember that my life is to reflect and uplift His glory no matter the situation or circumstances.
Blessings,
Greg
