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.

Adam, I am Jared Doran’s father and he sent me the link to you blog. I really enjoyed what you had to say and thank you for taking the time to share it with us. I like the scripture in 1 Cor 1:27 that says God has chosen the foolish things of this world to confuse the wise and the weak things of this world to confuse the mighty. He doesn’t do things the way we naturally do them…He does them His own way. Again, thanks for sharing!
God Bless…
