Jordan - Job 14
Yesterday I saw our tulips coming up and my first thought was "I really hope another freeze doesn't come!" Every year Erin gives me grief because some of our plants bloom early and get hit with a frost. I then complain throughout the summer that they would have been stronger had that early warm spell and late freeze hadn't messed them up. I am such a sap when it coms to my garden!
Yet, here in chapter 14, Job talks about the rebirth that plant experience each year. How jealous we should be that they have this opportunity to try again, over and over. What Job was missing was the sacrifice that God gave in his son gave in Jesus. In Jesus, we are given a life wherebwe can try, try and try again!
