These lyrics are from an old song, but it was a good reminder of how God is really in control of every little detail.
"This days been crazy, but everythings happened on schedule.
From the rain and the cold, to the drink that I spilled on my shirt.
Because you knew how you'd save me, before I fell dead in the garden.
And you knew this day, long before you made me out of dirt."
Thank Goodness He's in control.
I was reading in Job one day and God gave me the verse Job 23:12.
"I have not departed from the commands of his lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my daily bread."
I wasn't quite sure exactly what Job was saying in this verse yet, but God sure did show me. So I was walking along the lake one day, meditating on this verse that He made stand out to me, and He told me that I should desire His word and being with Him more than my body desires food. I was amazed at the idea, because to be honest, I absolutely love food, I get excited about it. I eat when I'm hungry, I eat when I'm bored, I eat to kill time. I quickly thought of all the times that I eat meals, or go to the kitchen to get a snack, or I eat those pop-tarts in the morning and that ice cream before I go to bed. I was just saying to myself "wow God, that's a lot. I mean I really like food, that's a lot God." And I kept walking, He gave me about 15-20 seconds to really let that sink in my brain about how much that is.
And then I heard Him "Yes Zac, that is a lot. But that's how much I desire you."
I stopped dead in my tracks. I couldn't walk anymore. I was so amazed at this. Our God so desires to spend time with us, but we can't give Him 5 minutes of the day. Our God loves us so intently. I just saw a piece of that this week, and I will never be the same.
