Friday morning Hugs
Sending out hugs on this awesome Friday morning. You all have a great day. I love y'all!!!!
"Look, I go forward, but He is not there,
And backward, but I cannot perceive Him;
When He works on the left hand, I cannot behold Him;
When He turns to the right hand, I cannot see Him.
But He knows the way that I take;
When He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold." (Job 23:8-10)
Job was a man of great faith. He could not feel the presence of God at this point. However, he knew that God was watching over him. He had faith that God was still taking care of him even though he could not feel His presence. He knew in the end, he would come out victorious. That is very important in our daily walk. We live by faith, not by sight, according to 2 Corinthians 5:7. I have, in the past, lived by feelings. I was disappointed many times. Do we sit and ask ourselves "is the car going to crank when I put the key in the ignition, is the light going light the room when I flip the switch, and I could go on. No, we have faith that these things are going to happen. How much more faith we should have in God. He loves us and is always there, even if we don't feel His presence. Just have faith and believe. He loves you so.

Good post--we need to remember at times that God's perspective is not the same as ours. He sees a bigger picture and has a larger agenda. Our option is to trust that he will protect us in his rime and way.
