“No Purpose Of Yours Can Be Thwarted”

Then Job replied to the Lord: “I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted. You asked, ‘Who is this that obscures my plans without knowledge?’ Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know.

“You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you shall answer me.’ My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you. Therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes.”

Job 42:1-6

Do not ever approach God that is in any way absent of a sense of wonder. Do not be routine, bored, apathetic, or disinterested.

Through Christ, we have the privilege of being adopted into the family of the living God, yet often there seems to be little of the sense of wonder that should accompany that remarkable reality.

Job questioned God about his suffering, but when challenged by Him, Job was humbled by the wonder of his Creator and His creation.

Long for the wonder of God to take hold of your heart. Let yourself be adopted by God – it is a wonderful reality.

Nothing can fill our hearts more than the wonder of our God and His love.
