I have no rest, but only turmoil.”
We were just talking at small group last night about how we have zero time. up at 5am to do bible study off to work then kids stuff home at 9 or 10 then to bed and do it again. I know this isn't what Job was talking about but this verse just hit me given that conversation.
What is the meaning of life? We fill it with activities that stress us out and give us no rest, maybe i need to take a little inventory of what is important. And like Job I have been very blessed, yet I can imagine quickly turning bitter towards life if I hit a rough patch or have to deal with an illness. I am always amazed how cancer patients fight on, they must have the same questions as Job.
no great point...just some rambling today.
knut
I feel completely the same. The thing that makes me laugh, about myself, is if I do get some time where there isn't a bible study, or soccer game, or school concert, or dinner with friends, or , or , or.....you know what I do?
ReplyDeleteNothing. I don't fill it with God. I fill it with Wicked Tuna, or American Pickers.
Such a slacker
