God is weird…

His actions don’t make any sense. His reactions make even less sense. He asks His followers to do weird stuff; Things like pray and repent and witness. He calls on His people to believe that He really can do the things He says He can do. Yet how in the world could He expect me to handle all of the things life has thrown at me?

How in the world could He expect you to handle all of the things life has thrown at you?

Read that again.

I often forget that He created not just the planet that I live on, but the galaxy that surrounds it. He doesn’t have to make sense, He doesn’t have to tie my world up in a perfect little bow. When we continue to think that this life should make sense to us we are missing the point.

This isn’t about us. It never was.

Yet we have a gracious and loving Heavenly Father who, although seems weird, is looking out for our eternal good, not our earthly good. We often miss the lesson while focusing on all of our questions.

We don’t realize that He doesn’t have to give us answers.

He is the answer.

The sooner we realize that everything in our lives has Christs handprint on it, the sooner we can start looking at this life (& Christ’s sovereignty) with fresh eyes and experience the real joy of living.

The Good. The Bad. The Ugly.

It is all a gift that we do not deserve….Yet He freely gives.
