There was an interesting question posed in church today. Do we know so much that we have become too smart to need God? Have we, in discovering the wealth of the internet, the wisdom of vast ages and sages at our fingertips, moved past needing an omniscient God?
And yet, I feel that God, is not intimidated. He who loved our communication and companionship in the garden welcomes our intelligence. Maybe he has waited for these moments, when he can talk with adult children about things beyond what we first knew. We understand more.
When my children were small we talked of insects and flowers and young friendships. Now that they are grown, we speak of adult things. Marital relationships. Homes, loans and adult things. And we welcome the conversations.
I think God is the same.... He has waited for our growth and increased companionship for our walks in the garden...

This song reminds me so much of what you are talking about:
ReplyDeleteIt's weird to think of all the things
That have not been keeping up with the times
It's ten o'clock the sun has now just
Begun to set the western hills on fire
And I hear that you don't change
How to you expect to keep up with the trends?
You won't survive the information age
Unless you plan to change the truth
To accommodate the brilliance of men, the brilliance of men
Some folks think we're better now
Social evolution's new synthetic will
Will keep us on a straighter path
As better men use brand new math
With no wrong answers
I'm just a little bit worried
Do you have some sort of plan?
Have you been finally defeated
By the cunning of these fully evolved men?
And I hear that you don't change
How do you expect to keep up with the trends?
You won't survive the information age
Unless you plan to change the truth
To accommodate the brilliance of men, the brilliance of men.
It makes it seem almost laughable that we are concerned that we can sort of "out know" God. He created us, he is bigger than we ever could imagine.
