Don’t blame fate when things go wrong—
trouble doesn’t come from nowhere.
It’s human! Mortals are born and bred for trouble,
as certainly as sparks fly upward.
This is a real uplifter, on a Tuesday post-holiday weekend.
As humans we are "trouble", and will cause trouble, and will find trouble.
Its not fate. Its just human.
The most important lesson to be taken from Job, so far for me, is that God is God. Whether you are in a hot streak, or are down and out. He is God and worthy of my praise and worship. My circumstances don't change that fact. Therefore my reaction to him shouldn't change.
BTW -
I drove thru the old neighborhood this weekend. It stil llooks the same. Our old house is a little rough, but other than that things look pretty much the same. I told the boys, "Chris and I used to tear up this street with our Hot Cycles!"

I've traveling this week, just catching up. Good take on God's consistency no matter our circumstances. Easy to say but hard to remember when things aren't going well.
ReplyDeleteI bet that was a big through back for you to visit the old hood. Even though I see it frequently I always think it seemed a lot bigger than it is, Mayfair is a very short street, the hill in my front yard that we sledded down is about 30ft long not 300 like I remember. lol
