Today seemed like a lot of reading. All of Esther and the first 7 chapters of Job. I can't say I was a huge fan of Esther, but maybe it's because it is 11:30.
As far as Job goes though, I have always enjoyed Job's story. God and Satan get together and have a wager of sorts - kinda weird, I know. God tries to convince Satan that Job won't curse God even when thing go bad in his life. So Satan kills all of his livestock, and children. As a response:
"Job stood up and tore his robe in grief. Then he shaved his head and fell to the ground to worship."
Wow! It seems that we are so quick to make worship about ourselves. It has become about how we feel and what we're thinking. The reality is that God is deserving of our worship regardless of our earthly situation. That can be so hard. I pray that in the midst of tragedy and death and difficulty that I will still be able to worship.
