Are We Too Strong For God?
Recently some words said by my pastor, seem to be ringing in my ears. "Some of us Christians are simply too strong for God", he declared boldly. He even went on to say some of us were even too clever for Him.
When I first heard this, I wondered to myself, is it possible to be too strong for God? God is strong and powerful. Come on now, I thought, who on earth would dare flex muscles with Him? Doesn't the Word says His ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts higher than our thoughts?
Is it also possible to be too clever for Him, I pondered. The Bible says that the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom. So how can anyone think they can size themselves up to God.
But in reality we do think these things. And quite often too. Small wonder we find there are times that God just cannot move in our lives. There is simply no room for Him to maneuvre! While He is waiting for us to lay it all at His feet, surrender to Him, trust Him as a child does to a father, we are too busy rationalising. We make plan A, plan B, plan C all the way down to plan Z. We cover every eventuality and 'what-if' scenario even AFTER we have prayed. And in the end, what does that say about us?
God is all knowing. To God belongs wisdom and power (Job 12:13). Let's remember that and submit to Him. He is no match for us.
