The Gifts of God's Paths
The Bible makes sense of what we can't.
Good and upright is the Lord; therefore He instructs sinners in the ways. (Psalm 25:8)
We are all too short in our understandings. C. S. Lewis noted:
We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.
King David holds a timeless wisdom, often expressed through prayer:
Make me know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths. (Psalm 25:4)
George Harrison, upon his deathbed, lamented:
Everything on earth can wait, but the search for God cannot.
The Apostle, Paul standing on the large Areopagus council rock, taught the Athenians:
It is in God we live & move & have our being. (Acts 17:28)
Humans depend totally upon God for breath, living and their existence.
REMEMBER Egypt:
In the greatest of our challenges the plagues led to paradise.
