a senseless contradiction
it's amazing how sometimes the Lord manages to find a way to meet us where we're at, even when we're so wrapped up in whatever we were doing.
it's not like i was cold towards Him. the reading was done. so was the morning revival. but i just didn't expect Him to be all that real to me this week.
and then i had one spiriutal experience after another today.
why do some faithful prayers remain unfulfilled while other fleeting prayers are answered so fast? we prayed together last night. and it didn't take long to go into effect: the door was more open today than it's ever been, and so i took the opportunity to enter in.
i came across a strong statement today: "If we do not contain God and know God as our content, we are a senseless contradiction." now that's a strong statement. senseless contradiction. say that a few times inside your head and u'll realize the brilliance of the diction. now that sounds like the ultimate insult.
i guess i just realized that God still has to have the first place in our being, regardless of the other earthly entanglements that we seem to get ourselves repeatedly stuck in one too many times.
but senseless contradiction seems to apply to anything. like how i didnt expect to have a true experience of God this week. or how our life never turns out the way we think it will. after all, life IS a senseless contradiction.
i prayed with someone over the cell phone today.
and then i prayed with more people at night.
hopefully all the prayer did some good.
