Which Comes First...
...the Question or the Answer?
In a roundtable of conversation last night regarding what it looks like to be a person having found the "life" that Jesus speaks of, my mind began to drift. Below are the buoys of truth I bumped into in the current:
God's greatest works of art are displayed through lives of redemption.
Need a reminder, read Hebrews 11 - these weren't perfect people, not even close - they were self-centered liars and adulterers. God listed them as having faith worth following - do we? Need another reminder, look at a rainbow. Need another reminder, look in the mirror
God is big enough to handle our questions.
He allowed Job 37 chapters of "why's" before reminding him of Who he was dealing with. Go ahead, He can take it...
Faith is tested and proven when YOU can't fix it... whatever "it" is.
When your back is against a wall or a Red Sea, to quote Moses (you can't go wrong in quoting Moses) stand still and watch the Lord save you.
Having a "life" cannot be seen in how we live, rather it is displayed by how we die...
"Whoever saves his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life, for My sake will find it" - Jesus

God's faithfulness has NEVER been dependent on the faithfulness of His children.
We have a history that shows Him using us in spite of us.
There is a canyon of difference between escape and deliverance.
Escape is by my effort, deliverance is by someone else's.God's greatest works of art are displayed through lives of redemption.

See, your posts here are the same as the xanga. I was trying for different posts and nothing that deep has come to mind recently. I'll see what I can do.
I think the egg came before the chicken:o) Good thoughts to ponder on your latest post.
