The Lord's Day

God does awesome stuff. My doubt has been proven wrong, my prayers have been answered, Christ's strength has been revealed in my weakness. 

Today, I went to two church services. In the morning, Presbyterian. We had "The Lord's Supper." I really dug it because that is what we called it at the Baptist church I grew up in. A bit of irony for you? Tonight, at the Baptist church (new one, first time going), we took "Communion." Heh. 

What I thought was particularly awesome was how vaguely connected the two lessons seemed to be, but how crucial the binding thread was. In the morning, we talked about Job and Jesus and suffering. Evening, uncertainty. Uncertainty often leads to suffering, and the question "can you stay faithful and trusting when God seems to be nowhere?" Well, is this not a crucial question to the beginning of Job? It totally is!!! Wow. I love stuff like that. 

God is good. So, so good. 

Isaiah 40:31 (NLT):

"But those who trust in the LORD will fine new strength.

They will soar on wings like eagles. 

They will run and not grow weary.

They will walk and not faint."

Romans 8:28 (NIV):

"And we know that in everything God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."
