Listen to GOD
The gospel told a story of a dishonest judge and a woman who
was persistent in asking for justice. Because she was persistent, the judge
gave in. Jesus then asked how strong our faith was. This was not a story for
people with low comprehension skills. (Don't get me started on retards again)
Most people would assume this means we persist in prayer, keep asking and
asking and asking. Two things pop into my head.
1. If we are always asking, when do we stop and listen? I
didn't know that faith worked that way. Some people ridicule Catholics or
Moslems for using the same prayers over and over or for praying over and over
so ritualistically and then turn around and repeatedly request the same thing
to God every night. I guess because they change their drawers more often than
an Arab there's a difference.
If occurs to me that if you believe, you shall receive. So why you keep askin?
Which brings me to:
2. Are we now treating God like a dishonest judge? Does he
need constant reminding that you still have not hit the Lotto? I mean the whole
block, your barber and Jesus knows your numbers are 5-4-7. When do we stop
needing and start believing? When are we going to stop over clicking that
mouse? You only need to click that link one time and you hit the button six
just to read my blog. The computer will freeze up, GOD won't. And HE knows and
HE won't forget. In fact, he may have sent you a reply. Stop typing and
check your inbox. Don't be scared to open that email that looks unfamiliar, they're
not all chains.
Remember, it's US who need the reminding, not the other way
around. It's us who need help learning the word from time to time. For the
first time in a while (and only the second time ever) I feel like my church
community is somewhere I can go and know the people there have my back. And I
don't even know anyone at my church! THAT, my friends, is what church is.
If you happen to be attending a church where that is not the case… In fact, if
you know the people at your church and still don't trust them, why are you
still there? RUN! You are in hell and you don't know it. Use your Jesus slap
and get out of there!
In the name of Jesus…
And quit pesterin God for new shoes! He's busy fighting a
war for Christ's Sake!
DANG!
