What an AMAZING God!

I know God has a perfect sense of timing – that absolutely nothing happens that’s not in His time and under His control, but today I must admit, God also has a sense of humor. This morning I started my Good Morning, Girls study of James, and part of my notes for the morning included the question: “What does it look like to “count it all joy when you meet trials of various kinds”? I do have a pretty good idea, but in light of Steve recently losing his job, I was wondering how it would actually be lived out.

Here’s where God’s sense of timing and sense of humor come into play!

I’ve been struggling with reading through the Bible chronologically when I have to jump back and forth between books – the list I was using had me jumping back and forth between Genesis and the recorded history of I Chronicles. So, today, I found a new list that kept me more in one book, just putting the books in chronological order. I was ahead of the list by several chapters, so I looked back to see what they had included that I hadn’t yet read, and wouldn’t you know it – it was the book of Job!

Darlene: What does it look like to ‘count it all joy’?

God: Well, let’s take a look at my servant, Job.

Perfect timing! Perfect example! Perfectly amazing God!

Dear Lord,

May I never cease to be amazed by your awesomeness. May I realize that You desire to be intimately involved in every aspect of my life – even the tough times. And may I rest in the fact that Your timing is always perfect.
