God is serious business

There is a lot frivolity going on and there is nothing wrong with that. Fun is fun and God is good with that.

God Himself is serious though. His business is serious stuff. We should take Him seriously. He is in charge of His government. He is not neglecting anything. He is paying attention to His goals. His plan is being executed. He is getting it done. He is serious about it.

God is serious business, take him seriously; he’s put the earth in place and it’s not moving. 1 Chronicles 16:30-33

May I be serious about His business.

I've been really stupid

I know I do it all the time. I look at the facts. Hard to ignore them in my world.

God’s way is to believe Him and ignore the facts. That is trust. Cancer? No problem. No cancer in Heaven. He wants His way on earth like Heaven. Bank account empty? No problem. He is rich beyond imagination. Facts or faith?

I should be smart and trust Him. That is all there is to it.

Then David prayed, “I have missed God’s plan badly in what I have just done, substituting statistics for trust; forgive my missing your goal—I’ve been really stupid.” 1 Chronicles 21:8

Just won't stop

He cares about us in a way we probably can’t understand. It is His nature to be good. He can’t be anything else. He has always been that way and always will be. His love just won’t stop.

May we give thanks to Him. He is good.

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. 1 Chronicles 16:34
