Product of when I find myself in Awe of God at 1:30 in the Morning...

so I was reading this in Job today.
As I was reading this,
I thought it was interesting how
gold and jewels and silver and iron, you know,
valuable things, come from the darkest of places...
They are hard to find and man rarely wants to go searching for them
because of the risk and the darkness.
Same it is with us.
God changes us the most in the darkness,
in the difficulties in our lives.
We can find so many hidden promises of God
and we can see who He is making us into.
Also He shapes us and molds us,
and like the those valuable metals,
He breaks away the dirt and the rock that surround us.
The Light goes into the darkness to find us because
even though we are covered in dirt and filth,
He finds value in us and works very hard to bring us into the light :)

Job 28
1 "There is a mine for silver
and a place where gold is refined.

2 Iron is taken from the earth,
and copper is smelted from ore.

3 Man puts an end to the darkness;
he searches the farthest recesses
for ore in the blackest darkness.

4 Far from where people dwell he cuts a shaft,
in places forgotten by the foot of man;
far from men he dangles and sways.

5 The earth, from which food comes,
is transformed below as by fire;

6 sapphires [a] come from its rocks,
and its dust contains nuggets of gold.

7 No bird of prey knows that hidden path,
no falcon's eye has seen it.

8 Proud beasts do not set foot on it,
and no lion prowls there.

9 Man's hand assaults the flinty rock
and lays bare the roots of the mountains.

10 He tunnels through the rock;
his eyes see all its treasures.

11 He searches [b] the sources of the rivers
and brings hidden things to light."

Well, anyways, I just wanted to share that :)
Yay for late-night random posts :) haha
