Seek and You will Find

Sometimes I and a lot of people don't understand the ways of God. A lot of people question God. A lot of aethists and science try to disprove God. The only way to truely understand God is to have a relationship with him. However, understanding God is totally different than just believing in God. If you understand God, then your aligned with God. You understand the decisions made by Him for you. You don't always have to agree with certain things, but you understand that what happens in life or whatever path life takes you is a path known and set by somebody higher than you. He is the ultimate decision maker. And if you understand Him, then you trust Him. If you trust Him, then you seek Him. Everything else becomes sort of numb when you trust God. The ways of this world become numb. Politics, violence, hurt, pain, suffering, sin....it just all becomes numb because you know that this life is just not the only life. This is just a flash before you enter eternity. And this life is just a testament before the ultimate judgment. God is forgiving, but were you truely sorry. There's a difference between being just sorry and repenting.


God does not want us to just believe in Him, but to understand Him as well. God has not hidden Himself from us. He gave us Jesus and his Word. He gave us the Holy Spirit. The Spirit is what helps you develop convictions. The Spirit leads us to the Truth. If we continue to question why God allows certain things to happen in life, you begin to question God's authority. Doubting only leads people to become double minded. Remember, God is always watching.

James 1: 5
But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
