In the living breathing cosmos there is a mysterious Something, too wonderful, too awful [i.e. `awesome'] for any mind to understand. The believing man does not claim to understand. He falls to his knees and whispers, `God.' The man of earth kneels also, but not to worship. He kneels to examine, to search, to find the cause and the how of things. Just now we happen to be living in a secular age. Our thought habits are those of the scientist, not those of the worshipper. We are more likely to explain than to adore. `It thundered,' we exclaim, and go our earthly way. But still the Voice sounds and searches. The order and life of the world depend upon that Voice, but men are mostly too busy or too stubborn to give attention.
I WISH i wrote this. It's actually a para from Tozer- the Pursuit of God, ch 6. So profound. READ IT.
Today as I was watching some Planet Earth like program on insects, I was wondering how people could refute God- I dont want to explain how one caused me to think of the other, you'll think Im weird. My friend once said "religion was just made up by man so that we could feel at peace about what happens when we die." I could see why that would be reason for people to get to know God, but what about everything else? Why do people believe in karma or coincidence or luck only? Why can't they accept the fact that there is a purpose for everything and that God is behind it all? The Earth works in wondrous ways- some things are too perfect to be considered just science. And what's up with this "mother earth" business.. insects just don't evolve on their own.. the food chain wasn't made on its own... It's kinda like the chicken and egg dilemma, how can people possibly explain everything. How did the dung beetle come to like dung? How come the mayfly lives for less than an hour and has no mouth? It's human nature to be curious about life and purpose and value and supernatural beings but sometimes things can't be explained unless God is in the picture. You know what's crazy, people are trying to play God now.. controlling the weather n whatnot. PISHPOSH. God is going to break down their Babel.
I feel like one day it's all going to come together. There will be this era where everybody goes AHHH! or I get it! or That makes sense! light bulbs will go off and people will realize that God is the only answer. I mean God, the Bible, Jesus, Christianity is all around us and finally when non-believers get over that little hump of whatever keeps them away, there will be revival. Goosebumpy!
I don't doubt that God is mysterious, and sometimes unexplainable, but isn't that part of what makes Him so amazing and GOD? Man I love Him.
Can't wait for Japan.
