"I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.
Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes."
Job 42:5-6
Job's reaction to seeing God is amazing. The fact that he was brave enough to address him is already huge, but he did really well, and it is telling that all the things that he had gone through were as nothing compared to encountering the Lord. He knew instantly that all of his complaints were misplaced. I don't think that means we have to hate ourselves, but the comparison would make us feel like something we don't want to be.
Today, let's remember that God is more wonderful and amazing than we imagine. Let's stop treating him like a more powerful version of ourselves, and remember that he is so far beyond us that we can't imagine how glorious he really is. Let's prepare to meet him again by praying and listening to God's advice through his prophets and scriptures.
