Not everything is as it seems

I find sometimes that so many people including myself are so stuck on our own ideas we refuse the truth even when it hits us in the face. I think people take many beliefs or ideas as facts when they are not. The biggest example I can give is a physics exam before Einstein ever knew how mass, energy, and time (the most common of human elements) worked be he stuck a wrench in the system. He completely destroyed the system and built it up again. If we take this to matters of life I believe that we really don't have any clue about how things work and the stuff that is true may only work in our lives but not work in another. The saying goes that don't judge a man till you've walk in his shoes I think that might not even be enough. If we then move this to God shoot we have no hope, and really that is the case until something happened 2000 years ago.

The problem with all this is that there are stupid ideas and smart ones that look really stupid. The only thing that I can do to resolve this is to ask God to open our blind eyes and see the answer.

Quote

"If you've ever known the love of God, you know it's nothing but reckless and it's nothing but raging. Sometimes it hurts to be loved, and if it doesn't hurt it's probably not love, may be infatuation. I think a lot of American people are infatuated with God, but we don't really love Him, and they don't really let Him love them. Being loved by God is one of the most painful things in the world, it's also the only thing that can bring us salvation and it's like everything else that is really wonderful, there's a little bit of pain in it, little bit of hurt." Rich Mullins

Psalm 143

1 Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.
2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
3 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.
6 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
7 Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
8 Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.
9 Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.
10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
11 Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.
12 And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.

Anger

So having come up with nothing else I decided to write a blog on what God has been teaching me this past little bit.

I had many situations in the past little bit that created allot of frustrations. Allot of times I find my self saying out loud "why don't you just work", then I would thinking about why I am angry and wondering if being angry helps at all. I would find many solutions and the best one came to mind as soon as I let myself get rid of the anger and see things the way they really are.

14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;
16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.
