Should God make sense?

So the last couple days I have been trying my hardest to think about God. I know that sounds weird. But really, have you ever tried to think about God? Sure there are things that we can comprehend about Him, there are things we know about Him, some of His attributes and qualities. He is loving, just, merciful, compassionate, forgiving, jealous, omnipresent, all-knowing, omniscient, ect. But, I have been trying to understand those things and you know what, I can’t do it. How can there be this all-knowing, creator of everything. How did he do it? How can God, love everyone in spite of all of our short comings? How is He everywhere at once? How is He always in control of everything, working out everything to fulfill His will? Sometimes I get frustrated because, neither I, nor you can explain Him fully. We can not comprehend how truly powerful God is. For some people this is a deterrent to following Christ, because they want to be able to understand all of this. They want answers for all of this before they can believe. But, you know what, I do not want a God that I can fully understand, that I can put in a box and say here He is, this is Him and I understand everything about Him. I don’t want to serve a God that I always get or comprehend. Where is deity if we understand everything about God? There is none, in my book.

So, should God make sense? I think not. I think He should make as much sense as He wants to, because He is God. Would He be worth worshiping if He made sense? Let us come to worship Him out of our awe of knowing that He is up to things that we can’t understand fully. But also out of the understanding that everything He does is out of love for us and for the purpose of His will and only good can come out of it. So, when we don’t understand Him let us worship Him. Because I don’t want a God that always makes sense.

Life update

Well, life, hasn’t changed much. To be honest that is pretty sad. Still working, still going to school. I guess it is exciting to finally see the light at the end of the tunnel with school, after only 5 years. I am just a little worried about what is going to happen after school. I don’t really know a whole lot of jobs that I can get with a leadership/ministry degree, besides the obvious. But I have a feeling that God has a lot of excitement for me in whatever I am supposed to do. I just want to wake up and do something everyday that I know is directly helping other people. But I know that God has only good things in store for me. By good, I do not mean lots of money and comforts, but challenge, adventure and blessings!

On another note, I am pretty excited about my upcoming vacation/journey of awesomeness. My brother (Nick) and I are going on a 9-10 day journey. We have nothing really in mind. All that we know is that first stop is Yellowstone, and second stop is Seattle, after that we turn around and head down the coast until we run out of days and have to come back here. I am really stoked about this! Like I cant even express it in this little blog post here. I know we will see amazing things, have time to talk and get to know each other better, and I know that I will get the chance to take a million amazing pictures. There is just this big world that God put a million awesome things in, and I cant wait to see some of them. But that it is, I hope Aaron Reddin is happy now that I have updated my blog. Here ya go!
