praise You in this storm

One of my favorite men from the Bible is Job. I love the story because it shows that bad things happen to us even though we might be living 'high' according to the world. He had everything before Satan was allowed to mess with his stuff. The thing is though, even though he had all that stuff, Job was a godly man. He loved his Lord and even after all the things were taken away from him, he still praised God in that storm. What a wonderful example for us to live by. He praised God in the midst of his wife nagging at him, his friends nagging at him, etc. In the end he started to question God and start thinking, but God spoke to Job out of the storm in the final chapters:

"Who is this that darkens my counsel with words without knowledge? Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me."

I just find that verse so encouraging sometimes because I feel like whenever I feel like any type of power, I realize how much MORE God has.

It was SUCH a blessing to be able to read through that and spend time with Amanda today.

Thank You Jesus for Your incomparable sacrifice on the cross. I pray now for the people in the Midwest who have been affected by the weather in such a terrible way. I know You have all things working together for good to them Lord. Thank You for my family and my friends that You've placed in my life. You're an awesome God, Lord, and I can't thank You enough for the blessings You've given.
