Things I Cannot Understand If there was any one man on earth who had reason to question God's love, it was Job. He lost his family, his health, and his wealth-all at the same time. His friends came to his side only to question his spirituality. God had already answered the question of his integrity. Job was described in the opening verses of the book as "blameless and upright" (see Job 1:1). His calamities were not born from sin. Job acknowledged God's right to do anything in his life until one day he could take it no longer. He questioned God's motives. God answered Job, but not in the way he wanted to hear. God answered him with a series of questions that represents the most incredible discourse of correction by God to any human being. Three chapters later, Job realized that he had questioned the motives of the Author of the universe, the Author of love. He fell flat before his Creator and realized his total depravity. "Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know." Have you ever questioned God's activity in your life? Have you questioned His love for you based on circumstances that came your way? The cross at Calvary answers the love question. He sent His own Son in replacement for your sin. If you were the only person on earth, He would have done the same. His ways cannot always be understood or reconciled in our finite minds. That must be left for a future time when all will be understood. For now, entrust your life to Him completely. Embrace Him in the hard times and the good. #TodayGodisFirst #DevotionalbyOsHillman https://www.instagram.com/p/B-CbLvkF9PHI9vR107R9pci4ooUOwmjh3fnXJk0/?igshid=11h43tlkrwijk

The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous [those with moral courage and spiritual integrity] And His ears are open to their cry. The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, To cut off the memory of them from the earth. When the righteous cry [for help], the Lord hears And rescues them from all their distress and troubles. The Lord is near to the heartbroken And He saves those who are crushed in spirit (contrite in heart, truly sorry for their sin). Many hardships and perplexing circumstances confront the righteous, But the Lord rescues him from them all. ~ Psalms 34:15‭-‬19 AMP https://www.instagram.com/p/B9Zo8BmFnIJOWtmbe3l8Wr-LxB9lKddQigROLo0/?igshid=1fxd542eblxq4

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. ~ James 3:13‭-‬16 NIV https://www.instagram.com/p/B9ZEuPBF61ozkZ0A-Pzeb3gYEd3ss11-FI2wU80/?igshid=updgbmig45xs

So I am going to take her into the desert again; there I will win her back with words of love. ♡ Hosea 2:14 GNT God knows the stubborn human heart. He knows that if He is to accomplish His deepest work, He must take us into the desert in order to give us the privilege to be used in His Kingdom. In the desert God changes us and removes things that hinder us. He forces us to draw deep upon His grace. The desert is only a season in our life. When He has accomplished what He wants in our lives in the desert, He will bring us out. He has given us a mission to fulfill that can only be fulfilled after we have spent adequate time in preparation in the desert. Fear not the desert, for it is there you will hear God's voice like never before. It is here you become His bride. It is here you will have the idols of your life removed. It is here you begin to experience the reality of a living God like never before. Someone once said, "God uses enlarged trials to produce enlarged saints so He can put them in enlarged places!" He brought me out into a spacious place; He rescued me because He delighted in me (2 Samuel 22:20). https://www.instagram.com/p/B9UgHtYlNpwufgxd9xFLAVYrGc52KhmrIXCgxU0/?igshid=pr8qrjjumu5l

God’s presence filled Paul with the courage to proclaim the gospel, even while on trial for proclaiming that same gospel. Paul leveraged his time in prison and his life of singleness to advance the gospel. He didn’t seek to be put into prison, but he used his imprisonment as a platform for evangelism. Whereas most people would have ended the letter by asking for help in getting out of prison, Paul found a way to rest in God. He had a broader view of the work of God, trusting Him with his ultimate redemption and rescue. Therefore, nothing could touch him. It’s impossible to control everything in life, but it’s possible to be both known and loved by the Creator of life itself. This truth gave Paul peace, and it can give us peace as well. When you rest in God, you recognize your life is about your relationship with Him. The way you relate to God is far more important than the way you relate to other human beings. Identity isn’t found in your friends, your dating relationships, or even your spouse. Identity is found in your relationship with Christ. He’s the only person who’s able to define you. When you’re in Christ, you’re adopted into the family of God as a son or a daughter of the King. Ultimately, flourishing in singleness (and in every other stage) depends upon having an identity that isn’t found in your relationships (or lack thereof) but in Christ. #devotional Life + Love ♡ #byBenStuart https://www.instagram.com/p/B88IoNBlrEOLpdSXsQs3ZI0wskfZG5Bjle5myM0/?igshid=39yvmt59wb4s

#Proverbs3 The time and energy spent could have been avoided in most cases had they asked for wise counsel. But they didn't because they thought they knew. There is more hope for fools than for people who think they are wise. - Proverbs 26:12 NLT https://www.instagram.com/p/B85oGKAF1laZpTQdlkzz09B3PQwkAUmlyHjWmc0/?igshid=cm6odfq5wpq3

Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth. After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can’t take anything with us when we leave it. - 1 Timothy 6:6‭-‬7 NLT https://www.instagram.com/p/B80TqjRlhA0dZQAun_RWnSn5qMYiql4_GFySmM0/?igshid=1mn9edazxxk5k
