Sometimes I stop and take an outsiders perspective of my life since my rebirth. Its amazing how God can answer prayers in unbelievable ways, but then at times even in the midst of all that, the world can make you question His existence.
God really has answered each and every one of my prayers recently and sometimes I have to even say to myself, “Dang why did I just pray that, look what I got myself into.”
All of these circumstances have no reasonable explanation to the timing or the way/extent that they have been answer. But as days go by I get talked out of them being answered prayers to just unbelievable circumstances that just happened by chance.
I find myself crazy sometimes that I can even questioning God’s existence. Either we are a creation made by a heavenly Father that loves us, or the universe went against 1/1×10^17 odds and the big bang happened, followed by dirt forming into a caterpillar which later became a sea turtle which then decided it wanted to turn into a monkey, and we are just developed monkeys. I know it seems stupid to me too, but sometimes I question if maybe that is how everything happened. (By the way that is the theory of evolution, you can research it)
What brings me comfort is some of the people God has placed in my life. Probably one of the most influential people would have to be Molly and Joe Bail. Molly and Joe sold all of their possessions and moved to Kenya to start an orphanage upon hearing God’s call. You may hear, “Well yes, but they receive plenty of personal reward for doing that.”
Molly and Joe moved from America, where if you make the average income you are 100 times richer than 53% of the world, to move to Kenya, where most people live on a dollar or two a day. Has it been easy? They face more hardships than anyone I have ever heard of. They have both caught malaria countless times, not to mention helping people that are in circumstances we could not even imagine.
What would provoke someone to do this? There is no way it is for personal benefit. If you spoke to them, things that happened could not have happened by random chance. They receive no reward, that unless there is a God you would receive. If we are merely just primates waiting to die, why risk you life and wealth to help others?
I do in fact know the answer as to why a married couple would put themselves through so much pain.
They are idiots!
The bible says that Jesus called upon ordinary people. If you break down what ordinary people means in the Greek translation, it means ignoramus.
IDIOTS!
If you live your life as the scripture tells us to, the whole world is going to view you as an idiot. But that’s ok because that’s who Jesus called upon, idiots.
When I take an outsiders perspective of some of the things I do, I think to myself how much of an idiot I am. Living my life for belief in something unseen, making words in a book my only reason of existence. To me these seem 100% real, but to others I look like an idiot.
Do you feel like an idiot? If so join the club, and together we can make some “dumb” decisions.
