How Did I Get Here?

Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?

Have you found yourself in a place you never expected? You're too young to have this disease, and there's no cure. Your last review was excellent; why is your position being eliminated? You were enjoying the best years of your marriage. Now you're starting over, as a single parent with a part-time job.

How did I get here? Job may have wondered as he sat among the ashes. He'd lost his children, his wealth and his health, in no time flat. He couldn't have guessed how he got here; he just knew he had to remember. 

Job remembered his Creator and how good He'd been. Job remembered he could count on this good God to be faithful.

Father, You're not surprised by what surprises me. You were good before, and You remain good now.
