John 7:15
The Jews then were astonished, saying, "How has this man become learned having never been educated".
Why do we doubt God? We say that He is all knowing, we say that He is all powerful, we say we trust Him. So why do we doubt Him? I think we see God as one our own, one who is equal with us. We don't see God as an elevated God. I think alot of times we unconsciously see Him as just the man that He was. He WAS fully man. That's all we remember. We don't remember that He IS fully God as well. There's a song that I love called "Dying In Circles" by a band called Silent Planet. There's a lyric in the song that says, "You said take and remember but we always forget'". We forget God in our everyday lives. Even after I decided to give my life to Jesus, I though that it was so stupid to pray for everything you do! I would think to myself, "God doesn't want you to just sit there and pray about it! Go live it!". Now I still believe that alot of people use prayer as excuse not to act, but on the contrary (like I did) I think people use too much action as an excuse not to pray. We have to find the balance. I've really been focusing here lately on praying for everything I do through-out the day. Even in that, I can see the change in myself and how I approach obstacles in my day. Honestly, I'm a pretty stress-free person but instead of me relying on my own worrlylesness, I rely on Gods omnipresence to take control.
