For The Moment…102

We can’t understand the great mysteries of life. How the rivers follow into the sea and the sea never gets full. Why does the sun rise and set at a certain time? How nature knows when it is spring when all the trees and blossoms begin to bloom.

We know there is a time for everything, and we believe and accept that event will happen.

We don’t know or understand the mind of God. His ways are past finding out. In other words, they are beyond our comprehension.

But it is for us to trust God where we can not trace Him.

As thou knoweth not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child; even so thou knoweth not the works of God who make the all. Ecclesiastes 11 verse 5.

The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.

Psalm 53 verse 1

We try to sneak past God by doing good deeds, hoping we will get to heaven. But we can’t because God knows our hearts, our true motives.

Sure, we can be moved with compassion to give to the poor, to donate to some charity research foundation on the cusp of finding a  cure. We show true kindness, but many times when we are not looking, we are hard hearted in other parts of life.

We are called good but are we good all the time?

God knows the heart, and we can’t  hoodwink him. Motives are measured in heaven.
