Are You the Rich man?!Here is something to think about
How much do you know God? Are you at the point of no return? Are you and Jesus buds? You know God like the back of your hand! or how about I have no clue who this God really is....
I just recently was helping out a friend- whom thinks they met their peek of knowing God. Personally- I think the only peek of us knowing God as humans should be on our death bed- we should always be learning new things about God- and if your not- its not at the fault of God- but the fault of the believer....
1. Don't turn your back on God- You won't see him if you're turned around the other way- and he may not here you if your talking to the wall instead of him.( I'm preaching to everyone on this one.)
2. I think its a little funny when people are dissapointed in " how God handles things" ei; old testament judgements vs. Christ love and mercy in the New testament.
3: We should expect that the things that God does is because he does it for the best.... why do we as people automatically think that we know whats going on- IN THE WHOLE UNIVERSE!
here's a little story about the Rich man
there once was a rich man who followed Gods footsteps since he was a young boy... he did all the rules- regulations, and stuff like that. Well he knew the scriptures and knew about Jesus- so he got the courage to come up to jesus and ask- " WHAT MORE CAN I DO?" and also told him that he knows the rules and loves the rules and all that jazz- basically- he said to jesus - I know You - but jesus loved him for knowing what he knew- and obeying what he knew- But it was time for him to know another side of God that he didn't know...
his reply- "SELL EVERYTHING!"
he walked away sad- this is something he wasn't expecting- a character of God was revealed to him that he didn't like so much....
now the question is here for you the reader- If God reveals a distasteful charachter to you- are you just going to walk away and pretend it was never mentioned... or are you going to be like- " God- I don't understand; but i know you know best.... so reveal to me the understanding."
Maybe my theology is totally messed up.... HA HA - but I think because of this type of thinking- there is so much division in the church - so many denominations...
but anyway- make it your own personal thing!
See ya! |
