Something happened today that made me have a strong realization that…. we’re wired to run according to God’s program, not our own program. God’s word is a manual of how to live, how to truly operate this ingenuously designed human being and to live a life in the world that He designs. I don’t know how to explain that kind of awe that “this is my Father’s world”… and it truly is. When we read His words and we either take it as suggestion or refuse to do it, it’s often because we feel like we can already get by without doing it, why go the extra mile to be sanctified? But God’s words aren’t to be taken lightly, as “useful information” and do it at your own suggestion. When God says “forgive each other”, we refuse to do that because we feel like we can stuff it down or just ignore the feeling… not knowing that what God said was intended to heal us, and not doing it creates so much bitterness and that bitterness turns into so much physical harm that we end up destroying our lives. We cannot operate outside God’s manual. I see God’s words say “do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – His good, pleasing and perfect will”, but we refuse to do so, and we end up storing all sorts of wrong thinking in our mind that eventually lead to all sorts of diseases.
With the recent rejection of DOMA, it seems like we’re all again rejecting God’s design and plans for human beings… and this will eventually lead to many other issues that’s beyond what we can bear. Lord, make us humble so that our hearts aren’t hardened against listening and following Your words and to realize that we are only a creation, not the Creator. You love us so much that You gave us a manual… please let us be humble enough be in awe of You.
