Today's theme
Today's theme is about give and take.
Saturday' post was a prime example of give and take. I lost $320 in overtime wages. I lost another $140 for parts and tools for my truck. I gained a new battery and new tools. I was in a place where that plan came together because God let the breakdown happen where I could easily take care of it.
Today's devotional in Our Daily Bread is about the good and bad and how God uses them to mold our character. The example used was the story of Jonah. My pastor's blog today was a book review about how God transforms men. The story of David and Bathsheba is a great example of sin, forgiveness, and redemption. It's also an illustration of what God gives and takes away. God took the child produced in adultery and later on gave them Solomon, who is credited as being the wisest man who ever lived. Even he had his issues, though.
The third thing was about what fire gives and takes in the Yellowstone ecosystem. In God's design, fire destroys the old trees but in the process it releases the seeds from the pinecones to re-plant the forest.
Sometimes, I wonder what God has in store for me.
