Now, if I am remebering correctly, mankind began to embrace the idea that man could be just as magnificant, if not more, than God. We started building a tower that would reach the heavens. We did it so that, "we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth" (Genesis 11:4). Of course, God stopped that immediately!
The reason why this verse comes to mind is because we are watching the movie Crash. So far, it is very good, dealing with a variety of race related issues. As I continue to watch the movie, it becomes very apparant to me that the base line problem is lack of communication. Not being able to understand other people causes confusion. This happens in society as a whole, between friends and family members, especially between spouses and parents and children.
Confusion does not happen with God, however. Our Lord is a, "God of truth," (Psalm 31:5) and when we know the truth, "the truth will set [us] free" (John 8:32). I need to continue to focus on the truth and Godly living..all the time...in everything I do.
I am thankful for...
1. my every need being taken care of as promised by God. He even frees me from the needs that I think I have, but don't really have.
2. getting errands done today.
3. no bills in the mail today.
4. being able to laugh, even though I get very frustrated, that both of the boys insist on taking off their socks and shoes each and every time we get in the car.
5. Sarah's brother being hired on LAPD.
6. Todd being so diligent at watching out for our safety.
7. the prospect of going overseas this summer.
8. that my little family will go to church together tomorrow.
9. Todd coming up with such a great idea for dinner. He continues to add flare to my sometimes run-of-the-mill meals. It is amazing what a little gorganzola cheese, shitake mushrooms, and parsley can do. God really knew what He was doing when He brought the two of us together.
10.
Need I say more?
