The Object of God's Love
In Job's grief he asks a question that shows us he knows God is still with him.(Job 7:17,18) In fact, he knows that we, as humans. are the objects of God's love and affection. He never ceases to love us, because He created us to have a relationship with Him.(John 3:16)
I hope each of you will realize like Job that you are important to God. He exalts you, and He has His heart set on you. He visits you every morning to assure you of His love and care. However, His love includes testing, because He desires for us to grow in our relationship with Him. Trials and tests are opportunities to trust Him more.
Take time to be still and to know that God is there. He loves you, and He is waiting for you to return that love. Talk with Him. Tell Him your hurts and needs. Praise Him for who He is and thank Him for His blessings to you. Then, walk with Him all day long. You will be amazed that the King of the universe cares so much for you that He will never leave you nor forsake you, if you trust Him as Lord of all.
Tomorrow, I intend to read Job 8-10.
