Doesn't he see everything I do and every step I take?
Job 31:4 (NLT)
This verse made me think of what Priscilla Shirer wrote in her study of Jonah: Navigating a Life Interrupted, "Knowledge of God's nearness can be most comforting to anyone seeking an intimate relationship with Him, and yet it can be the most burdensome reminder for the one who is seeking to avoid His direction and correction." pg.41
Yes I remember years ago when it felt burdensome and now, years later it is comforting and freeing to strive for a deeper relationship!
This week I'm thankful for:
1097. the snow outlining the trees' branches
1098. a mist hovering over a snow-laden field
1099. snow looking like powdered sugar on the bushes
1100. finally, the braces coming off my teeth! Hooray!
1101. Wonderful Husband making BBQ brisket AND chili
1102. Lent and sending encouraging, thankful cards every day
