Job
1:10 - “Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he
has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are
spread throughout the land.
Most people have times when we question why God didn't protect us. Ever had a time where you realized God HAD protected you from something?
It's happened several times for me, often in a car. One more recent case was hearing the screech of tires as a car avoided t-boning me at a red light. It was obvious that God had protected me from a bad accident and probable injury. That's one case of knowing God protected us, but there are 1000s of times God protects us that we never know about.
Were it not for daily protection from God, Satan would destroy us. The fact that God permitted Satan limited access is another example of His grace. Blessings, success, protection, and enjoyment are the gifts of God more than signs of our abilities.
Job was considered righteous for fearing God and remaining thankful for every day that God gave him. It was only later when Job wanted to die and was feeling ungrateful that God reprimanded him. Success is not so much our ability as it is God's ability. We need to recognize how much God protects us every day.
Start a daily practice of thanksgiving...not to gain more tomorrow, but to celebrate whatever you have been given today. Honor God for His protection and blessing.
