Conversation #6: Communication (Prayer and the Word)

Most of you who read this blog have similar beliefs to me, and you may take this for granted, but I know there are a few readers out there who believe much different things, and this post is geared specifically toward you.

Let’s say that there is a creator of all things.  There’s no need to go into the grand details, but this Creator made all things on this planet, and in this solar system, and in the universe.  Let’s say this Creator is all-powerful (not bound by physical restraints or time) and all-knowing.  He (let’s say this creator is male so I can use a pronoun) can do anything, and He decides to create humanity.

Now the purpose of human life is something that has been debated for years and years by people far more intelligent than me, so I won’t go into why this was all done, but just imagine that it is even possible.

If you can even believe that as a possibility, here’s the kicker.  This Creator is on such a higher level than any human can possibly imagine.  He has more important things to worry about than how we are “feeling” each and every day, or what new desire we have that we ask for, and yet…

He listens to us.

We have a direct line to speak with him.  It doesn’t take a fancy new phone, or a password.  All we have to do is speak, and he is listening.

This is amazing!  The creator of all things, who knows every nook and cranny of the universe, cares enough to listen to everything you have to say.

But that’s not it.

Listening is great, but only listening makes for a one-sided conversation.  Try it. (on second thought, please don’t)  If someone bares their soul to you day after day, and you listen attentively, but never say anything, it will stop.   You need to offer help, encouragement, or maybe a story of your own, so they know they can relate.

Well He does that too!

He gave us the Bible, which is His word. In it there are all of those things.  There is advice on how to live and encouragement.  There are helpful passages and a large story about how He came to Earth and lived as a man.  His side of the conversation is all right there in writing for us.

Now it is probably obvious that I don’t believe this is hypothetical, but I don’t mean it as a joke.  If you have trouble believing what you hear about God or Christianity, just really think about if you believe it even could be possible.

I can’t prove to you scientifically (it’s impossible to scientifically prove anything) that God exists, or that my opinion of God (yes it is opinion) is correct, but you also can’t disprove Him.  Don’t take my word for anything that is said on this blog.  I am human, and everything I say is fallible.  I am often wrong or at least slightly off, but I do believe that an infallible word exists, and that is where you should go looking for answers from.

So, until next time.

All for the Glory of God.
