Our fault or God's intervention?
Dude, It kind of sucks, because everything is going backwards for my family at this particular time. I think it's due to a series of unwise, or impulsive, decisions that we've all made. Maybe...I don't know. A lot of the times we tend to use "God's will" too liberally. I mean, in the sense that we make decisions, and back it up by saying we "felt" it was God's will. Later we complain, "Why does God allow this? Why is this happening?" and forget sometimes that God really doesn't have anything to do with it. It's your own friggin' fault...your having to deal with the retribution of YOUR friggin decisions.I don't mean to sound insensitive, but sometimes I feel that my parents are extreme drama queens when it comes to things about God..."Oh, what is God trying to teach me and Oh, why is God allowing this to happen and Oh, I feel the like the enemy is attacking?" or something to that effect.
Now, God is real to me. As a matter of fact, I know He exists. And God is more to me than a higher power looking at his creation beat each other up from afar. But that is not what I am arguing about. My argument is that if there are struggles, or any challenges, or atrocities that come are way, they are products of our own actions or just the bizzareness of this world. To me, it's not necessarily a lesson God is purposely trying to teach us, but more like it just happened...and God is going to use if for the better, I mean, why not? There's no reason to be worried up about what God is trying to tell us, if really His intentions are just to help us get through it.
I don't know, am I right? Maybe I don't take God seriously enough. Maybe I'm right, and I take God in the right amount of seriousness. Hmmm? What do you think?
