God!!!!

Ec 11:5
      5 As you do not know the path of the wind,
         or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb,
         so you cannot understand the work of God,
         the Maker of all things.
There is a lot of teaching out there that distorts the image and understanding of God. As humans we want to understand all things and put things in a file so that when needed we can pull it out. With God we even want Him to be at our command, we use scripture to try and hold God to account for what we want Him to do. Because we say He is our father and that our earthly father would not allow this so why does God. It is true that we understand God best through our relationship with our father. But God is above all of our understandings of Him and we cannot put Him into a formula or a type. The word God is far different than father. We have to come to the understanding that God loves us and that He is far above all things and sees the beginning of our lives and the end of our lives. He sees every other life we will effect and the outcome. If God has a specific plan for us or an area we have to simple allow Him to put everything together. We have to believe that HE is God and He knows what HE is doing. Because we compete with God all the time about who everything is about. Just like a husband and wife compete about who needs should be met when. We play this game with God and think because we did something for Him that HE has to do something for us. I wonder if our theology really understood that HE made us for His glory and to have fellowship with Him that we would finally get it. He does not ask us to do things for no reason and yes sometimes the things HE ask us to do gets us smashed. It is brutal sometimes I know. The thing that drives me forward is that HE IS GOD the ultimate supreme being and HE LOVES ME MORE THAT ANYTHING!!! I have to believe that HE has a purpose and plan and everything is about Him receiving all the glory honor and praise.

Ec 12:13-14     

       13  Fear God and keep his commandments,
         for this is the duty of all mankind.
      14 For God will bring every deed into judgment,
         including every hidden thing,
         whether it is good or evil.
All we can do and are responsible for is to keep His commands and believe that HE is a great rewarder for those who do them. Remembering that it may not be in this life we get rewarded but in the one to come where we will spend all eternity and really need the promise. SO push away the idea that HE has to do things your way and simple live for God and rest in the fact that HE will do it.
