Topic: If You Were God

There are some things about God and His ways we cannot know and cannot do anything about. This is a plain and simple truth. We often do not like this truth. We want to desperately change this truth. If there is an explanation about God's remoteness, His mystery, and His ways of doing things we must look at ourselves. We are not angels. We are human and we are sinners. We are easily drawn away from God. We are not subservient to God. We want to go our direction not God's direction. We are not pre-programmed by God to do His will. God gave us our own will that is free to go in whatever direction we choose to point it. In many respects, we are a lot like God, since He created us in His image. It is worth our time, our effort, and our lives to believe in a God who is unseen, mostly unheard, and who acts or does not act in ways unexplainable because of the trust God has put in us. God has given us some power and some control over our lives and our existence. To date, we have not shown God He can trust us to do the right things in every circumstance. If you were God, and humankind had murdered your Son, would you trust humankind? God gave us the power to create. What we have created with our creative abilities is build a civilization that does not praise God, nor does this civilization even give God the credit for our creative talent. With our creative genius we have developed and continue to develop new ways of killing each other off. We are striving to find ways of wiping ourselves off the planet. We too often use our creativity not to glorify God but to glorify sin and violence. If you were God, would you trust us to always do the godly thing in every circumstance?
