A somewhat ambiguous post title. Don’t be surprised if this isn’t what you thought it was going to be.<\/p>\n

It is not odd for us to question God, why He does this but not that, or vice versa. We don’t understand His reasons for everything. We think we do, but I don’t believe we are mentally capable of grasping what would be God’s logic. I catch myself thinking about how I would have handled something differently, but I must also consider that my desired actions illustrate why I don’t need to be God.<\/p>\n

Note: This is excusing the fact that I am human, not omnipotent, omniscient, or omnipresent. This is just to examine how my carnal nature compares to God’s ultimate holiness.<\/em><\/p>\n

First off, I don’t tolerate intentional or willful ignorance. I don’t care if I see it in myself or others, I don’t like it. I get aggravated. Seeing someone who I know could actually do better choose instead to maintain a sub-par performance is bothersome to me. I don’t mind giving them an opportunity to try again, but second chances are going to be limited. That’s one good reason to be thankful I’m not in charge of the universe.<\/p>\n

Next, I don’t always understand the intentions and motives of others. In school, I was easily convinced to do something by the popular kids. Nothing serious, but I ended up getting out in dodge-ball several times because I trusted them. I am not always able to read people like I think I should, and I may think they are upset when they aren’t. Or, I may think they are being nice when they are really after something. God knows our hearts, we cannot fool Him.<\/p>\n

There are more ways that I could get into, but I think they are best left to another edition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
