"Through all of this Job did not sin nor did he blame God"

So during my "blog stocking" today I discovered that Kelly (from Kelly's Korner - one of my favorite blogs) had a post about a woman that recently became pregnant. She had gone through all sorts of fertility treatments and nothing worked. Finally, after spending some time in the book of Job and realizing how much of an idol getting pregnant had become in her life - she became pregnant!

One thing that I really want to be careful of is trying to do things to manipulate God into giving me what I want, which is currently a baby. I really want to submit to His Will. So, I decided to study the book of Job for a little while. I read chapter 1 today and must say I am already total convicted and challenged. Job had so much, including 10 children, and in one day - no, a matter of minutes - EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING was taken away. His response:

"The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord."

WHAT?!? If only I would have been able to say the same thing after our miscarriage! But instead - I have blamed you God! I'm so sorry!!!

Verse 22 says, "Through all of this Job did not sin nor did he blame God."

WOW! God, I want faith and a love for you like Job!!! How about you guys?

In His Hands,

Katy
