Been on my mind...

So last night I was cleaning the house and cooking dinner and enjoying some girl time while my wonderful husband was off doing some work. While listening to my iPod, a wonderful playlist I made that is perfect for singing my heart out, I got to thinking about some conversations I have had with friends over the past few years. I have made a lot of wonderful friends, all of whom I love and respect, since we have moved back here and we have gotten to that place in friendship where we talk about more serious things.

One of those things is God and what we believe about Him and who He is. I have heard many different opinions and even talked to friends who don't believe in God at all. The thing I got to thinking about though was all of the people I know who believe in A god, an omniscient being who is undefined and escapes explanation. I also know people who want to make God fit their life and what they want to believe about him. People who dis-merit the Bible by saying because man wrote it it's not necessarily the true Word of God...and I guess that's what gets me...how are we going to say God created the Earth and made us in his image and answers prayers...but then say that He couldn't have inspired the words that went into the Bible...it just seems like that is putting a GIANT limit in God. He keeps the stars in place, He controls the weather, He heals people that by all our understanding could never be healed...oh but He didn't really give people the words he wanted them to write in the Bible... Just something to think on. I know there is so much about the Bible and what is in it and what was left out of it that I don't know but we have a lot of nerve to limit God's ability and to try to make what he desires fit how we want to live. Guess what...we don't get to design God to fit our lives...

Think on it.
