“You turn things upside down! Shall the potter be regarded as the clay…” Is.29.16 ESV
Have you ever felt that God should explain some of the things He does, or allows to happen? Every time we do this, we turn things upside down, place God on trial and set ourselves up as His judge—the Maker is questioned by what is made. Adam’s first exchange with God after he sinned was to blame Him, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate?” It is amazing love that forgives such arrogance in us. God turns His other cheek every time one of us questions His word or His ways. Yet, despite this, some still think Him to be a tyrant even as He mercifully sustains the very breath they use to curse Him. God help us to cease all prideful judgments and especially those directed toward Him. And, if He is so charitably tolerant toward us, should we not practice charitable tolerance especially toward those who attack our faith. 12/30/2008 ts
Just me trying to be honest with God.
