thought provoking thoughts..hmm

So i was riding home with Em from cadre tonight and we got into this really good discussion..it started off being about how we're faced with questions regarding the Bible and God and other things of that nature & then we ended up talking about being prepared for when those questions arise. we were saying how we're always reminded that we need to be fully equiped for whatever questions may come our way, but we realized how often we're not so ready when we're confronted with those types of questions. i guess this really got me thinking too...

As i kept thinking about all this, i began to really form an opinion. i really don't think that you can ever 'fully' be equiped with the knowledge of God to answer every single question thrown your way. if we had the ability to do that, then God wouldn't be God. we would sorta be like mini gods i guess because all of the glory wouldn't be God's, but instead ours, which is not at all right or how it should be. also, we never stop learning things about God, who He is, or His creations...for it's all so extravagant, and we would never be able to take it in all at once either..that's just how it is...

Because i don't know everything about God, that just makes me desire to know more about Him. too many times i'm not ready or prepared enough to answer the tough questions that i'm faced with about God and His ways, and i sometimes feel defeated because i wasn't ready. i know i'll never know every piece of information that Go is holding, and why he does certain things, but i know that i want to be more confident when the time comes for God to use me. 

They say that if you do something for 21 days then it becomes a habit...well, i began to wonder..if, for 21 days, you really studied, pondered and applied what you studied with these questions that you're faced with, will the answers become 'habits'? i bet if you take a question that you might come face to face with unexpectly, and really study it for 21 days, then when you're approached with it, you'll be prepared to answer with the things that God's shown you. 

I want to be able to give a response confidently, that is from the Lord, when i am faced with these things...but it's my responsibility to go after and see for myself what He wants me to pass on..


21 days...hmm, this could be good :]
