today we had inclement weather - that means the school canceled classes so i didn't get to go into work tonight. sooo i slept most of the day - i am not going to catch all the bugs going around thank you Father for the deep restoring sleep. and drank oj along with reading the last of the series bob and i have been trying to get through. the author of the wheel of time series has died before finishing the series so i am not exactly sure when the series will "end". i am right in the middle of several threads of story being tied up well. i believe they (his wife and publisher) have been able to find an author (that robert jordan) approved so the last book can be written. if you are interested in following what i am talking about just click your mouse on any of the blue words and they will take you to a site telling you what i am referring.
actually the weather was not really bad.
i went to church tonight. so nice to go on a thurs again. pastor mark referenced the story of the blind man Jesus used mud to heal, from John 9.
people complained about how Jesus did the miracle, who He was (whether from God or not), if the man was ever really blind, that Jesus did a miracle -"work" - on the day you were not to work,.... and all kinds of other stupid points. THE REAL THING WAS THE MAN WAS BLIND AND COULD NOW SEE. Jesus healed him and the people getting involved missed the entire point. THE MAN COULD SEE.
we so often deny the unexplainable and undeniable of God. there are things we just can not be comfortable with and God is okay with us not knowing the entire story. the fact is that God wants to do something for us and others and we can totally miss the point if we ask the wrong questions - why did Jesus use mud?.if we deny it is happening - was he really blind?. if we say it can not be of God - was Jesus from God or a was He a sinner? (i.e. can God really use someone that has their nose pierced? or wear those clothes...?) AGAIN NOT THE POINT - THE REAL DEAL IS HAPPENING AND WE ARE MISSING IT. God doesn't get all caught up on man's rules - "it was the sabbath we don't work on the sabbath"....
we can continue down a path of denial and wrong questions listening to our rules about how things must be done until finally we are angry at anything God does and anyone/thing He uses to accomplish His will. that is a bad place to find ones self.
it is time to quit denying the undeniable and unexplainable of God. the blind man can see and the man who healed him is ever vigilant to provide what we need.
Father help us to not box You in and not throw out what we can not explain about You. there are just some things we will never understand. i remember Your ways are not my/our ways and Your thought are not my/our thoughts. You are better than we are or can be.
i wish you all blessed sleep and full rest tonight. my love to you.
