Arguing with God never works. God always wins. Maybe we don't obey Him right away but deep in our hearts we know that He is right. I often wonder why I keep choosing to argue when I always lose. There have been so many times when I would have a conversation with God similar to the one below.
God, I've had it! I know you have this grand plan that I wanted to participate in but I don't like the way You're going about making it happen. I can't take the stress and uncertainty any longer. I've suffered to much pain to continue. I quit!
God, I've had it! I know you have this grand plan that I wanted to participate in but I don't like the way You're going about making it happen. I can't take the stress and uncertainty any longer. I've suffered to much pain to continue. I quit!
Even if you quit, I won't quit. I still love you and always will. I created you for a purpose. My plan for you began before you were born.
I don't really care right now. If I hadn't tried to follow You, I don't think my life would be so messy.
I had a plan for Israel too. One much better than the path they chose. I still used them but if they had obeyed my voice and heeded my commands, I would have blessed them even more. I am giving you the same choice. I will use you no matter what but if you choose to follow me, I will bless you. My glory will become more evident in your life and the harvest will be greater.
(Why can't I ever win an argument with God?)
Which path will you choose?
Why are you asking me? Don't you already know the answer?
Remember when I established Ezekiel as a watchman for the Israelites and said that I would hold him responsible for every person he failed to warn?
Sigh. Yes.
I have called my church to a similar position and you are part of that church.
(I don't like where this is going.)
How many people do you want to be held responsible for?
Ouch.
I love you. I will never leave you or stop loving you. Nothing will ever change that. I will provide. Do you trust me enough to follow me through the pain?
