Job 40:1-2
"The Lord then said to Job: Will we have arguing with the Almighty by the critic? Let him who would correct God give answer."

Reading the book of Job, I realize it is not all about "us", yet it is all about "us".

God loves us. He wants us to love Him. He wants us to acknowledge Him as our Creator and give Him praise in all He has created. God created us to be good, He wanted all things to be good. Since God allowed us free will and choice, it unfortunately opened the door to evil, as in our human form we have many weaknesses. God wants us to understand that, of ourselves, we cannot really accomplish much. We need God, as our Creator, to show us the right way and to make things possible for the good of all.
God wants us to offer back to Him our free will. He wants us to choose Him as leader in our life, so that He can help and guide us in the way we should live. If we do this, we will be pleasing to God and through God, He can make all good things possible for us.
Life will be as it is, but the difference will come when you allow God to be with you; all you experience will have more meaning, a greater purpose. God's promises are true. If you live your life with Him, you can lay claim to all His promises to us, most importantly forgiveness, salavation and everlasting life through His Son, Jesus Christ.
We cannot always see, we cannot always understand the ways of God. But we can always trust and believe in God to take care of us and provide for us.
It is all about choices and attitudes, acceptance and surrender. It is a daily way of life, it has to be, to remain strong in the Lord. It cannot be a sometimes thing. You have to be convicted and sure of God's power in your life. There is little room for doubts, as doubts leave the door open for evil. Always pray to be strong in the Lord, to serve Him, to witness to His glory in your life. In this way, your light, for God, can shine to a lost and hurting world.

Choose God.
