September 15

Job and the Problem of Suffering (Continued) - Job 25:1-6, 26:1-14, 27:1-23, 28:1-28, 29:1-25, 30:1-31, 31:1-40

What came up when I googled the Average American


"Does He not see my ways
and count my ever step?"

If you live to be 75, you'll take about 192 million steps in your life. The average American sleeps about 194, 821 hours of their 649, 401 hours of life. The average person will spend two to six weeks of their life tying their shoes...provided they don't spend their whole life in slip-ons or velcro-fastened footwear. The average American spends 3.5 minutes a week in meaningful conversation with their child but 6 hours a day watching television.

I wonder what stats God is keeping tabs on? What is the true measure of our lives? Any suggestions? The hours spent saying encouraging things? The moments spent in prayer or truly loving another? Our time spent in service to Him or others or are they the very same thing.

Lord knows.
