But He is unique, and who can make Him change? And whatever His soul desires, that he does. For He performs what is appointed for me, and many such things are with Him. Job 23:13-14
You know, this statement could strike fear into those who don't know God. They might even dismiss Him as a cruel, selfish dictator--doing "whatever His soul desires."
Thankfully, that is not the God I serve!!
My God is good! His mercies are new every morning! His goodness and kindness follow me all the days of my life! My God is love and He is unchangeable! Thank God for that! So all that He does and all that He is able to do is good!
When viewed from that perspective, this passage from Job brings me comfort, peace and joy, because "I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord, plans for good and not for evil, plans to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find me, when you search for Me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:11-13 (paraphrased)
With that in mind, I can rest easy in knowing that He is in control!
Resting in His arms!
