This last week has been interesting, stressful and tiresome. Add on the responsibilities I have outside of work and sometimes it just gets overwhelming. I’ve often wondered why people don’t believe in God. I wonder why they can’t look around them and see all of these wonderful things, and want to know how they came to be. I have a beautiful view from my bedroom window. I can see Pikes Peak, and I especially love it in the winter, when the top is covered in snow. During the Balloon Classic, it is so nice to see all of those colorful shapes against the backdrop of this majestic mountain range, with Pikes Peak taking front and center. I just don’t understand when people say they have no belief in God.
Maybe it is because I was raised in church. I’ve turned from God several times over the course of my life, but something has always brought me back. I’ve questioned Him on why things are, why I make the decisions I make, why I am where I am in life. I know all things work together for good, but sometimes I just want to know WHY!?!?
I usually don’t get an answer when I demand one. And yes, typically, I demand the answer. I am impatient enough that I don’t like to wait for an answer, even though it is typically there. Or will be, if I would just wait for it. Sometimes, when I get that answer, I laugh at myself. If I had just been patient, I would have had so much less stress in my world.
This is where I am with wondering about my future husband. I’ve been told to lower my standards, change my path, do something different and so on. It isn’t what I feel like I’m supposed to be doing, because I know God has something big planned for my life.
Don’t choose a path without God. Life is hard enough as it is. Choosing God doesn’t mean life will be simple or easy, but you will be able to handle all of the problems that come up so much easier. Even when looking for your mate.
Psalm 53 (NASB)
1 The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God,”
They are corrupt, and have committed abominable injustice;
There is no one who does good.
2 God has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men
To see if there is anyone who understands,
Who seeks after God.
3 Every one of them has turned aside; together they have become corrupt;
There is no one who does good, not even one.
They are corrupt, and have committed abominable injustice;
There is no one who does good.
2 God has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men
To see if there is anyone who understands,
Who seeks after God.
3 Every one of them has turned aside; together they have become corrupt;
There is no one who does good, not even one.
