The Difference Between God and Me
Best understand this if you want a good life.
When I am thinking — I am aware there is always more beyond what I am able to ever think; more than I know, or will ever know, anything about.
When I walk into a library and see physical books, I know I have read just a small fraction of them — and this is just the information found in English, let alone all languages in the world.
Also, because the books have been written by people with limited intellects just like me, I know better than to believe that all of it is accurate. In fact I know it isn’t. This is why limited intellects like mine have a tough time believing in absolute truths and a limitless God behind it all.
And compared to God, artificial intelligence is a joke.
When God thinks there is no more beyond his scope of comprehension and knowledge. He is never baffled like me. He never doesn’t know what will happen next in the same way he already knows completely, without any gaps, what has already, and is currently, happening.
With God there is no need for a trial where evidence is submitted, except to bring everyone else up to date with what God already knows and has known from the beginning.
Time is a gift to us in order to give us lives at all.
God is outside the time he created and doesn’t need it for any personal reasons except that, for some mysterious reason, he chooses and desires to have a relationship with mortal women and men like you and me.
Because God knows everything and we never will, faith in his Word is vital.
And the result of our life-tests where we are coached to walk by faith and not sight, our trust in his goodness blooms over time. And as our trust grows and strengthens so do our experiences with peace, joy, love, hope, and patience, even in the midst of any and all difficult physical circumstances.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD, and turn away from evil.
It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones.
Great insights into those verses.
