How bright we can be.

 

Yes in our modern society we have come to understand psychology, to grasp the lessons of history and weigh current events against the past plodding of our forefathers.   And our physical science –mercy, we have mastery of so much biology that we can do a heart transplant, and calculate the requirements to send a man to the moon and bring him back again.   Yes the modern man is so much more sophisticated than before.   We no longer merely cultivate gardens, we have landscape architects for beauty and our mass production agriculture has GPS controlled nutrient application and yield calculation.  We can gather knowledge at the touch of a button on the web.   And we can find out the wind speed of an approaching storm.

All this capability can make us so full of ourselves.   We can come to the master of all that we are learning about and try our mind functions on Him.   We can assess the odds of an event taking place and try to figure out where the resources most likely can or will come from. We can apply all we know to the point of missing all that He is.   Our capacity to think is the same as those who came before us, but the subjects for us to apply them to are many more, and better organized.   What does this do to our relationship to Him?   Depends on what you do.    You can analyze the position of God for eternity and never discover a thing that was not known by Adam.   He experienced Him before the nasty little introduction of our very self-awareness that makes us think we can be like God.   All the assessment in the world is merely another form of fig leaf.   In the cool of the morning when we go to walk with Him and try to converse with Him we better leave it all behind.   Lest He call out: “(your name) Where are you?”

What’s in your Worship?
