God sure is patient with all of our uncertainties about Him.
Dare 2 Share - Then the Lord spoke to Job out of the storm:
"Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me. (Job 40:6-7)
Several years back there was a very popular song by Joan Osborne called “One of Us”. Basically it raised questions around the idea of what life would be like if God was actually to dwell on our planet. What would His name be? Would He ride a bus? Would He phone the Pope? Etc. Etc. Etc.
Deep thought. Alluring concept. Except (duh!) this already has happened. Jesus Christ was God being ‘one of us’. The questions have been answered pretty effectively in written form. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John replied to the questions about ‘God in the flesh’ 2000 years before this song was ever written!
God sure is patient with all of our uncertainties about Him. Perhaps He would like to make some inquiries into our lives as well…things like:
What if I couldn't take the time to bless you today because you couldn't take the time to thank Me yesterday?
What if I decided to stop leading you tomorrow because you didn't follow Me today?
What if you never saw another flower bloom because you grumbled when I sent the Rain?
What if I didn't walk with you today because you failed to recognize it as My day?
What if I took away the Bible tomorrow because you would not read it today?
What if I took away My message because you failed to listen to the messenger?
What if I didn't send My only begotten Son because He wanted you to be prepared to pay the price for sin.
What if the door of the church was closed because you did not open the door of your heart?
What if I stopped loving and caring for you because you failed to love and care for others?
What if I would not hear you today because you would not listen to Me?
What if I answered your prayers the way you answer My call to service?
What if I met your needs the way you give Me your lives???
