day no. 16,000: God gives us bite

Sixteen thousand. Sixteen thousand times outside the womb I've been privileged to spin with the planet earth. So, to answer your question, "No, this isn't my first rodeo."

Meanwhile, back at the ranch...

Isaiah 41:14-15

Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the Lord, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff.

God gives us bite.

He turns worms into weapons to win the world. He turns rebels into rods to discipline the backs of nations. (Psalm 2:9, Revelation 2:27)

God gives us bite. Let's get to chewing.
