TAKING A MOMENT

FEBRUARY 11 – The Character of God – Have you ever really thought long, and hard, about the character of God? God allowed for all of Job’s family and servants to die, all of his possessions to be lost, and for Job’s own health to be stricken…why? Job 1:8 Then the LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?” (NKJ) This is the character of God. God allowed for everyone on the face of the earth to die, except for Noah’s family…why? Genesis 6:8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. (NKJ) This is the character of God. Joseph shared with his brothers what God had shown him and they threw him in a pit…why? Genesis 50:20 “But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.(NKJ) This is the character of God. God’s ways are not man’s ways and we need to always remember that. The Bible is filled with crazy, real life stories – God stories! Just maybe, your life might be a crazy God story! Can your character handle it?
