Grass blooms are so beautiful

Everywhere we look in the fall we can see "wild" grasses in glorious bloom. The plume waves and bends to the breezes of each hour in the day often soaked in the dew of early morning. These flowers are lush in their groups and from a distance even seem to carpet the landscape but in their singled out state, they are soft and gentle statements.
God knows what He's doing!

God Knows What He's Doing Surely I spoke of things I did not understand; I talked of things too wonderful for me to know. —Job_42:3 It's easy to thank God when he does what we want. But God doesn't always do what we want. Ask Job. His empire collapsed, his children were killed, and what was a healthy body became a rage of boils. From whence came this torrent? From whence will come any help? Job goes straight to God and pleads his case. His head hurts. His body hurts. His heart hurts. And God answers. Not with answers but with questions. An ocean of questions… After several dozen questions … Job has gotten the point. What is it? The point is this: God owes no one anything. No reasons. No explanations. Nothing. If he gave them, we couldn't understand them. God is God. He knows what he is doing. When you can't trace his hand, trust his heart. The Inspirational Study Bible, from a devotional by Max Lucado
