It's an interesting time to be God.

Have you ever wondered at the thoughts that must go through God's mind as he watches the world?

He watches as mankind now worships creation rather than a creator.
He watches as mankind dismisses Him as just so much mythology.
He watches as mankind refuses to accept a gift that cost him everything, replacing it with something that was never designed to satisfy.

I have once again been deeply saddened by reading the blog of a good friend.

His self realization and self assurance is so confident and presumably so "right". His rejection of any voice that does not start it's reasoning with... "in the beginning me..." and his presumption that if something cannot be measured and confirmed by science then it holds no truth is nothing short of unsettling. The arrogance of any position that assumes the understanding of all there is, a position that he has been faithfully constructing over the decades, is inspiring in it's selfishness and closedmindedness.

"For the scientist that has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountain of ignorance. He is about to conquer the highest peak. As he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greated by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries."~Robert Jastrow, God and the Astronomer

I simply see my friend, a picture of a small man...so small that in the picture he looks smaller than any ant, standing looking toward heaven declaring in his tiny ant voice. Show yourself God to that I can measure you! For if science can't measure you you simply don't exist." And all around him there is a slow constant wind making a sound that he simply can't hear. It's the lowest voice of all... the voice of God...and he is sighing.

So... I come back to my original thought. I wonder what thoughts are going through God's mind as He watches us?

I have discovered that only in the realization that there is a God and he is personally interested in every aspect of our lives can real contentment and purpose be found. But not as some buddy, friend or life insurance policy but rather only as He can be seen. His interest is simple... in it's truth. He is simply interested in being God. Our God. Our King. Our master. Our Lord. Our Guide. Our Ruler. And on His throne there is only room for one.

Oh yeah...and because He is who his billing says He is...He can't settle for anything less.
