Tuesday Ponderings

So I really love the series Joan of Arcadia. It is super witty, touching and deals with some super hard questions. It's a favorite.
Today I was watching the second episode of season one and God comes to Joan's house as a mail lady. Mail Lady God delivers a package to Joan and charges her $12...

Joan: What are You going to do with $12?
Mail Lady God: It's not what I am going to do with it. It's what you are going to do without it.

Isn't that how God reveals His glory in us? He gives and takes away. When He takes away, it gives us the opportunity to either glorify Him (by His grace) or ourselves (by our own strength). So substitute the $12 for something that God has taken (keeping in mind that everything you have is His and given by Him). What are you going to do without it.
