unanswerable

As i hit my snooze button on my alarm for a half a hour. . . i certainly did not want to get up! my bed is too comfortable and comfy...and its lofted and way up high so its easier just to stay up there!

and right now i could go back to sleep for a little bit before i have to get ready for the day.

Last night i had a conversation with a couple of my friends (andrew and jeremy) about those deep questions of life- like

Is it possible to truly love with out God?
If a person never hears the Gospel, (like a tribe out in the jungle) will they go to heaven or hell?

and i try so hard to want to answer these questions to the fullest extent but in reality... pretty much the unanswerable questions that are higher than our understanding that we want to bring down to our level but we just simply can't.

that brings me to think of Isaiah 55:6-7

For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.

So in essence we may - well we really will not know the answers to these hard questions.
We just have to believe that God knows the hearts of His people and we have to leave it up to Him. . .

on that note - jeremy- said this that stood out to me:

does it matter whether or not we approve of God's actions?


God is so much higher than us and i mean He created us- so why would He want or need our approval or want to give us the answers to everything? andrew mentioned that if we knew all the answers and then we would be their savior. so true.
then--if we had all the answers there would be no reason to trust, no reason to seek Him harder, to believe in Him, no reason to rely on Him, no reason for God at all. The mystery of God would be gone. There would be no reason to live.

but THANK THE LORD His ways are higher than mine are and that He gives us reason to live!!

each and every new day He will reveal Himself to you the more you seek Him, the more you follow hard after Him, the more you love Him. . .

so even if the questions are unanswerable- - place trust in God's hands because He knows the answer. and one day- - - if you believe in His Son, and that He died for you, and rose from the dead just for you, paid that price of your sin, and believe that Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life and no one comes to the Father except through Him (John 14:6) then you will find out the answer one day when you are united with God in heaven.

trust.believe.seek.love.
