Job recognizes the depravity of sin, the depravity of life and the wonder that God would stoop to visit us... But God doesn't just stoop to visit us.
In Psalms 81:10, I am reminded of another of my favorite verses... "Open your mouth wide and I will fill it." God has so much that He's longing to do for His children... so much spiritual strength and food He longs to give... but we are not ready, or our mouths are stuffed full of junk food and other distractions. Or we are just plain satisfied and we aren't hungry for more...
That's why He tells us in Jer. 33:3, "Call unto me and I will answer thee and show thee great and mighty things which thou knows not." It's because we don't even recognize what He longs to give us...
Let's put the distractions aside and ask God to give us fresh appetite and a fresh hunger for His Word, and most of all for Him!
