WOW

WOW that is all I can say about God's amazing faithfulness as I find actual words don't do Him justice. He has been so good to me. It amazes me how much He cares about me and look out for me and respond to me. As I was reminded yesterday when I watched my brother's video on faith "He is a Rewarder of those who diligently seek Him" Heb 11:6. It is who He is. He cannot deny Himself. if we are unfaithful He will remain faithful. I feel that we(myself included) forget too often who He is and base our faith on what we hope He is and not on truly knowing who He is.

How do we see God?

I have had a thought continually about this concept of how we see God. I, in no way, claim to have complete understanding or revelation on it but this is what I think. Often when something tragic happens in our lives, like a car accident or some horrible sickness is on a person, we think that God orchestrated it so that we can call out to Him and He can show His glory and maybe some don’t survive and other times some do and then we think that’s God’s avenue to show His greatness.  He created the universe He doesn’t need to create tragedy to show greatness but yet He will work tragedy for good! But now imagine a sci-fi movie. In this movie there is an all-powerful being, let’s call him Sparta(first name that came to mind) and this Sparta decides to show his power to his little beings so he comes and throws them into tragedy because he feels they are not giving him the attention  and love he deserves. So these little beings are miserable and suffering but Sparta’s plan is to save
