Take it or leave it.

You give and take away. – Job 1: 20-22

This is a line in the song, ‘Blessed Be Your Name’ that I have always sung over, not fully understanding.  Lately I’ve really been diving into this truth. I don’t get God. I don’t understand how some people live such easy and healthy lives, while others are born into a world of pain, sickness, and death.

What I do know is God is good and loving. His grace is overwhelming and His example of servanthood is inspiring. Our God is great. Where does this leave you and I? Whatever pain I may experience, I will worship God. I will trust God. I will celebrate the greatness of who He is. My God is holy, and I am a dirty sinner. Yet He loves me and encourages me.

Blessed be Your name.
