The other day I was uttering a quick prayer and I said to
God, “Do what You think is best”
And it just got me to thinking, I know it’s a phrase, a way
of us giving the matter up to God, but honestly how do we think we could ever
sway God in His pre-determined plans? And I know there are all sorts of people
who believe so much in the power of prayer, and I would count myself as one of
them, but do we really have any weight at all? I mean, if everything that
happens really is predetermined from the beginning of time, then why do we
still think we have free will? Why do we, tinier than specs of dust in God’s
eyes, think that we are so important and what’s going on in our lives and our
world is so important when in comparison with eternity, what does it even
matter? I’m not saying we should all become bums and live on the streets and do
absolutely nothing, but I do think we should honestly and truthfully look at
our priorities in life and ask ourselves to what greater end these priorities
lead us.
Now I’m not saying that we should become extremists, I’m
simply saying that maybe we should be a little bit more prudent in our daily
decisions. And don’t get me wrong, I am not in any way trying to preach at you,
because if I were you could tell me to practice what I preach before telling
other people to do it as well, I’m merely suggesting that perhaps we should
think about it.
That’s all…
Goodnight!
Heather
