Shattered
21 “His eyes are on the ways of mortals;
he sees their every step.
22 There is no deep shadow, no utter darkness,
where evildoers can hide.
23 God has no need to examine people further,
that they should come before him for judgment.
24 Without inquiry he shatters the mighty
and sets up others in their place.
25 Because he takes note of their deeds,
he overthrows them in the night and they are crushed. Job 34:23-25
Do you sometimes feel like everything is shattering around you? Do you think that you can't pick up the pieces and move on? There are people in this world that live through evil to gain what they want with no regard for others, and they typically don't care who it impacts or hurts. This week I saw where a police officer was killed in the line of duty. This officer had four children that I believe ranged in age from 22 down to just a few months old. When I see things like this happen, I don't think the incidents that I deal with in my life are really shattering my livelihood, but they are just a setback where I can easily pick the pieces up. While Job talks about the evil and how God crushes those, the other part of the scripture says while he shatters the mighty, he sets up others in their place. So, do you think God sets you in your place and where you are in your life? God allows these setbacks to occur, not to shatter us, but to remind us of who He is in our life. Don't feel shattered and unfix-able, but recognize that God can put you back together with his special glue.
Have a great weekend.
