I'm really a good book my Tim Keller called Counterfeit Gods "The Empty Promises of Money, Sex and Power and the Only Hope that Matters. This is the second time I'm reading it and I'm still getting a lot out of it. One of the many convictions I had as I read it was Keller's reference to Job. He knows what He is doing with me and when He has tested me I will come forth as pure gold. Job 23:10 I'm really going to put forth a conscious effort to not focus on how hard my trials are but to act in a way that would be pleasing to God.
Another thing I took note of was to remember that God is both Holy and Gracious.So just because I'm suffering doesn't mean God is being a bad God. He knows what I'm going through and it pains Him to see me cry but He knows it will make me better in the long run.
I think I'm going to take a stay-cation and focus all my attention on God. :)
In Christ,
Friend of God
