Job 11-12; Acts 13-16

Job 12:13 True wisdom and real power belong to God; from him we learn how to live and also what to live for.

With Your Spirit this truth gives me such HOPE.......

Reading about Paul in Acts is just so cool. A man so lost found...a man so hard becomes soft....soft and yet knowing KNOWING so much and it's in that knowing I think his softness comes...an ability to trust what you know so much.....can endure more than you might imagine.....
The part where he and Barnabas split up because of John Mark's being a quitter...Paul quitting on him, losing his partner. I wonder what that does in all of them later?? Mark's having someone believe in him in spite of his being a quitter....what did Barnabas miss in Paul and Paul in him? None of it was more important than the mission tho...lost to be found....Your word spoken and given away at such personal sacrifice....and yet under such protection.....
I wish I had a less messy brain to figure this out or maybe it's ok to simply be awed by it, driven and awed by it.
