vendredi, janvier 25, 2008 Reading Through The Bible [Day 3]: Not our ways Reading through the book of Job is always a frustrating/illuminating experience for me. Questions about predestination and God's justice, sense of fairness are not easy ones to grapple with - in fact, I would rank them among the hardest lessons to learn: that God is God, and while God loves us (John 3:16), the clay cannot question the potter's intentions nor deny the potter's existence (Isaiah 29:16). Notions of morality, and ideas of right and wrong are completely overturned by the presence of God - for to admit that God exists would be to accept the premise that God is above all things.Isaiah 55 Casting Crowns - Praise You In The Storm I was sure by now God, that You would have reached down and wiped our tears away, stepped in and saved the day. As the thunder rolls,I barely hear You whisper through the rain, "I'm with you." And as Your mercy falls, I raise my hands and praise, the God who gives and takes away. And I'll praise you in this storm, and I will lift my hands For You are who You are, no matter where I am. And every tear I've cried, You hold in your hand You never left my side, and though my heart is torn I will praise You in this storm I remember when I stumbled in the wind, You heard my cry to You, and raised me up again. My strength is almost gone, how can I carry on, if I can't find You. As the thunder rolls,I barely hear You whisper through the rain, "I'm with you." And as Your mercy falls, I raise my hands and praise, the God who gives and takes away. [Psalm 121:1] I lift my eyes onto the hills, where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth Libellés : christian [Reading Through The Bible [Day 3]: Not our ways] |
