Besides Still Waters - 8

My eyes shall behold

Job 19:27

I myself will see him with my own eyes —I, and not another. How my heart yearns  within me!

Job 26:14

And these are but the outer fringe of his works; how faint the whisper  we hear of him!  Who then can understand the thunder of his power?”

Bound in Fetters / The Cords of Affliction

Job 36:8

But if people are bound in chains, held fast by cords of affliction,

Twice as Much

Job 42:10

After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes  and gave him twice as much as he had before.

Marvellous Loving-kindness

Psalm 17:7

Show me the wonders of your great love, you who save by your right hand
 those who take refuge  in you from their foes.

You gave it to Him

Psalm 21:4

He Trusted in the Lord

Psalm 22:8

He asked you for life, and you gave it to him—length of days, for ever and ever.

Thoughts 

"Without somehow destroying me in the process, how could God reveal himself in a way that would leave no room for doubt? If there were no room for doubt, there would be no room for me." - John Irving

"When we get our spiritual house in order, we'll be dead. This goes on. You arrive at enough certainty to be able to make your way, but it is making it in darkness. Don't expect faith to clear things up for you. It is trust, not certainty." - Flannery O'Connor
