A wibbly wobbly moment
Do you get them?
I think most people do, in fact I think even pastors and great men of God get then, perhaps even Rick Warren gets them.
Most of course would never admit to getting them, not sure about Rick because to be honest that is total speculation
It’s sort of a bit of a mute subject, it sort of exposes us and lets be honest none of us like being exposed or in any way transparent
However yesterday I had one
I was watching the news
They were talking about a new marine census that had been completed and how they had found loads of new life hundreds of miles below the surface of the water, new species that they had never found before.
That was the time it happened
It just sort of got out there
A wibbly wobbly thought
“How could God be real, how could all this life exist, how c an I have faith in God”
Strange how stuff makes you think sometimes
Then I began to realise, the reason for my wibbley wobbley moment was for a second I forgot something.
I had forgotten just how massive and majestic God is, I had somehow brought him done to my level and allowed the word impossible to be transposed onto him.
How foolish
But
It happens, I think there are times when it happens to all of us, the trick is to not smash ourselves up about it or start to ponder aloud what would happen if we only had faith the size of a mustard seed.
No rather how about this
We simple smile and move on, overjoyed at the fact that he is great and wonderful majestic and scary yet compassionate and caring and friendly and forgiving. That paradox that God could be as vast as he is yet as personal as he is. That try as we will we can never get it more than looking through a glass darkly and one day the revelation that is yet to come will blow us away
In the meantime let’s learn from our wibbly wobbly moments and allow faith to win!
