Job 1:9
Job was tested to see if he respected God for who God was, and not because God treated him well. I am struck with the horrifying thought that I must likewise respect God (and everyone else) simply for being God (or everyone else).
This is tough to swallow. In my younger days I wanted to be an iconoclast, a destroyer of tradition (and hence disrespectful), and here I find that what God wants to destroy is disrespect.
Amen.
