Job 28 & 29; Galatians 1 & 2

According to a site meter nobody reads here and that is both comforting and disappointing.... comforting in that I can write whatever moves me and disappointing in that what moves me is still about me??? hmmm and yet it's my blog and I'll write what I want to....

I don't know much but what I am coming to know is You....or think I am....or desire to so much it certainly feels like it...It feels like I can come here and tell You anything....and in the telling (for me writing it down) it stops spinning in there...it sticks more...it moves me....perhaps at a snail's pace but for someone who lived 'stuck' it's movement baby.... What a God you are..the way you wait for us...the way you offer repeatedly and yet wait for us to accept, to hear, to listen....

Job 28: 23-28 "God alone knows the way to Wisdom, he knows the exact place to find it.He knows where everything is on earth, he sees everything under heaven.After he commanded the winds to blow and measured out the waters,Arranged for the rain and set off explosions of thunder and lightning,He focused on Wisdom, made sure it was all set and tested and ready.Then he addressed the human race: 'Here it is! Fear-of-the-Lord—that's Wisdom, and Insight means shunning evil.'"

And maybe....someday like Paul I can say....Galatians 2: 17-18 Have some of you noticed that we are not yet perfect? (No great surprise, right?) And are you ready to make the accusation that since people like me, who go through Christ in order to get things right with God, aren't perfectly virtuous, Christ must therefore be an accessory to sin? The accusation is frivolous. If I was "trying to be good," I would be rebuilding the same old barn that I tore down. I would be acting as a charlatan.
19-21What actually took place is this: I tried keeping rules and working my head off to please God, and it didn't work. So I quit being a "law man" so that I could be God's man. Christ's life showed me how, and enabled me to do it. I identified myself completely with him. Indeed, I have been crucified with Christ. My ego is no longer central. It is no longer important that I appear righteous before you or have your good opinion, and I am no longer driven to impress God. Christ lives in me. The life you see me living is not "mine," but it is lived by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I am not going to go back on that.
Is it not clear to you that to go back to that old rule-keeping, peer-pleasing religion would be an abandonment of everything personal and free in my relationship with God? I refuse to do that, to repudiate God's grace. If a living relationship with God could come by rule-keeping, then Christ died unnecessarily.

maybe I am.....please Abba don't stop working in me....on me....for Your Glory....
