Ever felt like this little girl? What a mismatch! But sometimes you don't have a choice. The fight you are in is the one you have to fight. Even if the enemy, (poor health, financial setbacks, relationship that have deteriorated, rebellious children, etc), appears to be overwhelming, God knows what it will take to defeat your enemy. Right now my reading-through-the-Bible-in-a-year reading is the book of Job and the book of Isaiah. What a combination. Even the best mornings spiral downward in a hurry reading those two books together. I wonder if the editor of The Daily Message thought that at the 3/4 mark in the year, the readers might be too happy and contented with reading each day and he decided to combine these books to bring us all down to earth. :) A couple of days ago while reading Isiah 9, I came to this wonderful passage; For a child has been born-for us! The gift of a son-for us! He'll take over the running of the world. His names will be: Amazing Counselor, Strong God, Eternal Father, Prince of Wholeness. His ruling authority will grow, and there'll be no limits to the wholeness he brings. Wow...bring that Sumo on.
