Sorry that I have not posted in a while...its been kinda busy lately! Busy but good.
You know how sometimes something will happen that makes you feel like God is saying "its ok, I got it." but that something that happened was something that would only make you feel that way? Well that happened to me yesterday. It was small, but it was there. I was grocery shopping actually, and I was debating over a few of the choices that I had made, and how long everything was taking, and was fairly frustrated with the busyness of it all. When I purchased my food and supplies for the week it came out to an exact number, exact in the 10's and in the change. I am a little left brained ;) and it was like God was assuring me that I got exactly what I needed to get, not more or less. Then, on my way home I did not hit one red light out of the 7 of them, which said "You were not wasting time, and I am with you." Like I said, little things that reassure you that God is there and that He cares.
The other thing that I was thinking about it "Am I OK with God giving justice?" I know that it sounds silly, but think about it....are you OK with bad people being punished for sin? Most people get angry with God when someone dies, even if they are evil. They don't mind if they are in prison, as long as the prison is clean and happy (for the most part). But are you OK with God really taking vengeance on the people who have martyred the Christians? One of the biggest complaints that people have about God is His justice. The other, is his mercy. Let me ask you another question, "Are you OK with Gods mercy?" Would you be happy if a child molester and murder got saved and went to heaven? Or if someone who cheated you and hurt you was blessed in a business deal after he had repented? Or would you allow someone who divorced their good wife for another woman to be happy in that marriage?
I guess both of these questions are summed up in this one, "Are you OK with the Lordship of Christ?" Are you at peace to let Him be the ultimate judge? I really and truly believe that this one question is the most controversial and offensive question that anyone has to ask themselves. But, this is the one question that everyone must come to terms with in their life. It must be answered, and it will be answered....what is your answer?
