It’s almost like the fact that you actually damage muscle to build it.
—
- Satan and 1/3 of the angels didn’t really understand how good God is.
- Adam & Eve lacked understanding of how good God is.
- All of us lack full understanding of how good God really is. God’s goodness is incomprehensible to our minds.
Thankfully, we have a loving and forgiving God that sent his son Jesus to save the world.
I have to say that I think the best example of exercising faith I’ve seen was in an Indiana Jones movie. They were looking for the “cup” and at a ledge above a deep ravine.
The instructions said to take a step of faith. Indiana did, and it turned out there was a bridge there they could not see. But what if he had been misinterpreting the instructions? He’d have fallen to his death.
That’s the problem, in real life. We always want to second guess whether or not we are reading the instructions correctly. So we always find excuses to NOT take those steps of faith.
But then, I think I’ve strayed from the topic at hand - his Lordship.
