Do you ever have days when you are so bogged down with worry and questions? That is me today. I never understand how I can have a day of full faith in the Lord and then wake up the next morning and feel uncertain about things to come. Whether it be financial, family, friends, or other different concerns, I just want an answer directly from God so I know I have the truth. Have you ever had one of those black balls you ask a question too, shake, and then turn it over for an answer? Too bad you can't buy those that are filled with God's will for us. I think about how you can log onto the computer and search for anything. You can just go to ask.jeeves and they will answer any question. How cool would it be if we could just go to ask.Jesus.com.? Now I have to admit I am stealing this idea from my pastor. He is preaching sermons on this theory but it is so intriguing to me. What would you ask and how many times a day would ask things? Knowing me and my lack of faith it would probably be at least 20 things a day. I also ponder how materialistic our questions would be? Will I get that raise in January? Should I buy that new house? Will we ever get out of debt? Does he really love me? Will she ever cheat on me? I can see the list going on and on? Whatever hair God does have, he will assuredly pull it all out.
But did you know that we actually have a Jesus.com that so many people rarely use? Yes my friends it is the Bible. See our God isn't in "Predicting The Future" business. His only concern is your relationship with Him and how you live your daily life according to His commandments. He just wants you to abide by His word so all of His mercy and grace can overflow in our lives. All the answers we ever need are spread throughout many many pages. I know for me that if I spent as much time searching the Bible as I did the internet I would not have a mountain of doubt weighing me down. God bless to all of my faithful friends and followers.
Amos 8:11-12
"The days are coming," declares the Sovereign LORD,
"when I will send a famine through the land—
not a famine of food or a thirst for water,
but a famine of hearing the words of the LORD.
Men will stagger from sea to sea
and wander from north to east,
searching for the word of the LORD,
but they will not find it.
