Yep--- shoulda seen that one comin'

Day 5
Job 10-13
Funny how reading about Job and the warning against getting into a spirit of self pity- I find myself more tempted to have a pity party in this moment more than in a good while. Things were going well, and still are in all actuality. But the reality of life just hit me and worry came rushing in. I read a twitter update from one of my friends earlier today that said something along the lines of-- if God worked according to our time schedule than we would be his employer, but instead he is Emmanuel and his timing is perfect... basically, his plans don't go according to our time frame, but rather we must strive to trust his perfect timing.
I think Job and I have a wee bit in common there... getting to a point where it seems a bit crazy-- well, lets not get carried away, of course his situation was more intense than what I am facing, but the realization that God is in control is the same.
The same God that allowed Job to be tested because He had great faith in him, is the same God that sees the situation you or I might be in. He sees the story on all sides, as a masterpiece that fits together perfectly and only He knows what the finished project will look like!
