Karen and I recently went away together for the first time in ten years of marriage. What a wonderful time we had in Alabama at refuge. We vowed to go away at least once a year together.
Refuge was exactly what I needed' a refuge to be alone with God and be reminded of how incomprehensible He really is. We spent time in Isaiah 6 just exploring His throne room and Isaiah's response to what he saw. We have a HOLY,AMAZING,HUGE,AWESOME GOD. I forget that all the time trying to put him in my little human box.
Last night I spent time in Job 38-42. God answers Job after all the ranting, raving, and questioning. God speaks. I love verse 3 of ch 38 where God tells him to brace himself like a man. Then for the next 3 chapters God ask Job questions. Much like me reading it Job is instantly humbled and realizes how small he really is. God is HOLY, we are not. His plan is PERFECT, ours is not. We need God, HE DOES NOT NEED US.
I encourage you to spend some time in Job and being reminded of how Holy God really is. To move through life we need to have a proper prospective of God. I was reminded of that in Alabama and reminded last night. Thank you Lord for being everything I need, want, desire, and the things I do not even know. May I find true rest in your arms.
