Job....what a good ol boy...

"Who among all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? In His hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind. " And who are the "these" he speaks of? Beast, birds, bushes and fish...."these" know more, believe more, see more than apparently the eyes of man do....they KNOW HIM....they KNOW HIS hand! Do we? Do I? Do we even WANT to?! Or is it too hard, or is it not what WE want to happen, or imagine it to be in our dreams.....have we been so brainwashed by the "have it your way" mentality of this century, that we think we are owed to have it our way?! Obviously so. But His way.....is indeed better. Not perhaps easier, or more lucrative, or glamorous but better...for us and those around us watching. His hand is gentler than the worlds, steadier than mine and much more accurate than those of any leader. Think of it....these creatures and inanimate objects KNOW the hand of the Creator God....look to them...pattern after them...they trust, use instinct, don't worry, do what they were made to do, be what they were made to be....they don't have to figure it out or have endless hours of counseling....they just are what they are and do what they do in keeping with who God made them to be and they function within what they were made to be....and we spend agonizing amounts of time trying to figure all the minute details of that out instead of letting God just lead for us.....go figure.
