This morning I was reading Job
and feeling the struggle of each of the
friends and Job
to come up with the reasons for bad things
happening to people....
Their spiritual understanding
had gaps in it as they didn't know the dialogue
of God and Satan which lead to the
challenge and affliction of Satan on Job....
because of his goodness!....
One of the things that impacted me
was how SURE each one of the participants
thought they were RIGHT in their assessment.
Today I read the opinions of Elihu....
Job 13:1 And Elihu continued, and said:
2 “Bear with me a little, and I will show you,
for I have yet something to say on God’s behalf.
3 I will get my knowledge from afar
and ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
4 For truly my words are not false;
one who is perfect in knowledge is with you."
Wow.
that's being sure of oneself.... :P
Really?....
But that made me wonder.
What are the thoughts that I have
that keep me from
wondering
and asking
and receiving
revelation from my Heavenly Father.
Someone told me,
"Humility is God’s way for me to receive what He has for me in Christ."
Lord Jesus,
I do want more
and I am NOT
one who is perfect in knowledge.... :P
and I know that.
I have blind spots
.....I have to assume that.
So,
I choose to have
'beginner' eyes
and 'newborn' ears
for what You have for me
today.
Yes Lord,
Show me Your Kingdom
here...
Yes.
Thank You
....in anticipation.
:)
