One of the things that I have struggled with in my Christian wall was
what God said. Like so many other people I believe that God leads us
in ways that are usually hard to explain and tend to seem hokey and
silly to others. The feeling and call to write a card when that's not
something that I do. Feeling mercy for someone and you don't even
know them.
Over the years I felt guilty for not doing certain things that I felt
like I was being led to do. I would beat myself up and say that I had
let God down and missed an opportunity to spread the love of Jesus but
over the years as I read the Bible and listen to sermons at church and
read books I learned that I was not alone. Rather than just missing
opportunities people actually argue with God about opportunities.
Just look in the Bible.
Moses argued with God about going to Egypt, about leading the
Israelites out of Egypt, about what to do in the desert with the
Israelites. Lots of things!
Samuel didn't believe that God wanted the missing child and
kept looking at people that looked like kings to him instead of following what
God was saying.
Other people argued with God too.
I don't find myself arguing as much as just ignoring and so I'm not
sure which is worse.
The thing that I always found fascinating from the Bible stories is
that God accommodated those people. He made adjustments and provided
different things in order to accomplish his goals.
So I guess it's not wrong to argue with God!
