Thank You for My Life, God!

Job 10:12

You gave me life and showed me kindness. And in Your care You watched over my life.

Even in his despair, Job still could acknowledge God’s mighty power. He proclaimed that God was the one who created him. It would not be possible that God who created him would abandon him in the end.

Just imagine this—You sewed your dress from scratch or built a big building out of Lego-blocks for many weeks. There is no way you would want to destroy it. You would want to take care of it with so much love because you spent so much time and effort to make it!

There was a glimpse of hope that shone brightly behind his suffering. Job found there were reasons to be thankful to God despite His suffering. Job could not deny God’s past work in his life as his Creator. He had lived for many years, surrounded by God’s blessings, and he didn’t let his suffering make him forget about God’s kindness.

You may not understand why you sometimes have to face a difficult time, but it is a good idea to stop for a moment and reflect on the kindness and care that God has shown to you up to this point. 

Prayer

Dear God, thank You for creating me with tender love and designing my life for a great purpose. Thank You for giving me life, love, and provision. Amen.
