Controversy surrounds the idea, however most scholars believe that the Book of Job predates all other books of the bible. Written as a poem framed in prose God first introduces himself to humanity in the form of a story. The personal relationship we find between God and Job - began the conversation.
With all due respect to the ordination of the Law, the remainder of the sacred scripture is a collection of stories that resonate the ideas of the first. They show the struggles of humanity along with the triumphs framed within the will of God to the ultimate Glory of God.
Even when God became flesh he walked around telling stories.
So I ask, what is your story? Or more aptly, what is your song?
We exist for two things: to witness God and to celebrate his Glory.
How do you witness God? How do you celebrate his Glory?
The greatest command which balances all others is to: Love God and Love Others.
Eternity has been placed in our hearts – Ecclesiastes 3:11
Now, express in words your heart, your love, your eternity, your God.
How?
There must be story – There must be Christ.
I pray you take your story of grace, your story of devotion, your story of worship, your story of peace and tell others. Love others the only way you know how. Share with them your story. Share with them your God.

I just picked my Bible off my desk to read Ecclesiastes 3 and opened right to it. I love when that happens. I hope we all continue to share our story. As we live, there is a lot more to share. I hope you have a relaxing week. Be still this week and know.
