Wow

God is God. No other word can describe Him without degrading Him. Think about it. Just stop for 2 minutes, and think, "wow. God is God" Think how big, how immense, how powerful, how wonderful, how GOD He is. Really think about it.

Food for thought. (No pun itntended)




God is kind of like a chef. He stands in heaven, and every day makes us a wonderful meal that we need. Sometimes He makes us vegetable soup. A meal of things that are going to make us healthier. Sometimes He makes us ice cream, cake, and one of those foreign éclair things. A meal that will make us happier. But no matter what, He always makes us what we need when we need it.


But, being stubborn humans, we don’t always eat what He gives us. Maybe one day He’ll give us a huge steak. A steak so large and juicy, we thank Him all day for it. And not just steak, but He gives us some mashed potatoes, with gravy, and a nice warm roll to go with it. And then, He gives us a carrot. Not a cooked, sugary, warm carrot. Nope. Just a straight up, cold, little, brownish colored carrot. And although we just got done eating the largest steak known to man, and a small mountain of potatoes smothered in gravy, and a roll that would put the Pillsbury dough boy to shame, we still don’t eat the carrot. Its not a large carrot. Its actually quite small. Seemingly insignificant. In fact, if you took the carrot, and wrapped it up in your napkin, I bet no one would notice. I mean, its small, it tastes funny, its probably been laying in the bottom of the produce drawer in your fridge for so long that it has a winter coat. If we just toss it in the garbage, we’ll be ok. Hey, maybe we can offer to eat another roll instead? Yeah, eat some more steak, and throw out the carrot. I mean, the steak tastes good, and there’s more of that, and then your conscience will be appeased. You won’t feel bad that you threw out the carrot. The one thing that was a little hard to swallow(no pun intended). The one, only, slightly difficult thing that you had to do. Just replace it with something bigger and better. No one would notice, in fact, they would applaud you as you shoved the large, juicy, noticeable steak into your mouth. And no one would notice that your carrot was laying desolate in the bottom of the garbage. Well, except for the chef of course. HE would notice that you threw it out. Because, after all, He put it there. For some reason or other, even if you didn’t understand until after you washed your plate and then asked, “what in the world was that for?!” . But I’m sure there was a reason. Probably a pretty decent one too. I mean, its gotta be a good reason if you have to stomach that CARROT, right? Oh well, just have another steak. I’m sure it will compensate for the little carrot that’s in the trash. After all, it’s bigger and better, and people can see when your eating it. I mean, that’s why its there right? That’s why YOU'RE here, right? To eat the steak, right? Right?
