Day's of Hard Work

I find that so many times I question why is this happening? Why can't it just work?
You can see it every where that this is how life is. Plans are changed all the time. I guess the question I am trying to ask is why are things like this? How come some days it feels like you have to fight for every step?

Genesis 3:17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. (also Romans 8:22,23)

I guess it is what the serpent said we will be like God. We see the good in storing up food for bad times so we work hard to prepare ourselves. We are part God and part dust, or as Paul puts it Romans 8 spirit and flesh.

So where does this bring us for the original question why. I believe if we weren't part God we wouldn't be able to comprehend such a question and we would never worry about it. If we were all God we wouldn't need to worry about it because we would have everything that we need. So what does God want us to do with this human condition?

Romans 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

I guess the plan is to work hard at it, and to ask God for our every need, because it is impossible by ourselves.

Romans 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

strength of man and the Power Of God

The strength of man is found in the details. As they say the devil is in the details and I guess that can be true in more than one way. How does man make it to the moon and back, by looking at every single angle and possibility. How does someone control a whole country, by looking at the details.

The power of God is found in the impossibilities. How does a hardened criminal really change? How does a political pressure push the English government to provide money to free seven hundred thousand slaves? How does a church grow in the midst of the harsh punishment?

I'm not saying that the strength of man is wrong it is just a very powerful tool that has been given and like anything that is powerful it can be used for great good or great evil, and it turns out that is one of the closest things that we can get to be God with out God so Satan uses every attempt to control it. I do believe if we could get our act together down here we would explore the stars using both our own strength and the power of God, but God has his own plans. I guess the idea is to some how find a way to make the two live in peace. This proves to be the a very hard thing considering if you think about this for a bit it turns out to be Christianities struggle since Constantine gave freedom to Christians. How do we merge church and state?

I guess the only solution I can give you is one you can't put in rule books or tell to someone about where they sit in the power tree. Do as much as you can for God and trust God with the rest. I guess thats it Jesus came to destroy to rule book, because it enslaves people.

Doing the better thing always proves to be an uphill battle by your self because it disobeys all the laws of nature.

Letting Go cont.

I guess today is a good day. Not all the posts were created today I had been working on them for a bit.

I decided to expand this post because it holds something else that I think is important.

Sometimes we want to see the world, do something great, make lots of money, live somewhere else only because there is something missing inside of us, feeling like we need something else. The place itself is not what fills this gap. It is a change of mind, only the all might God of the Universe can really fulfill us.

I pray that everyone including myself in our time, need turn to him for all our needs.

Luke 4:4 "And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by, but by every word of God."

On the Verge of Something New

Stuck in this transition
between two cultures
much to gain
much to lose

How do I transition?
How do I say bye?
What do I keep?
What do I throw away?

Will I ever come back?
Will it ever be the same?

Can't stay here, God calls me on.
Things change, today only has us once.

I rejoice for the opportunity, to experience this again.
I pray experience, will give advice on this transition.

I've learn't so much, about me, about this world.
I look forward, where the hard times are the best times.
I pray I can see it.
