This blog contains comments and teaching regarding living the Christian faith and comments on the intersection of faith and many other aspects of life from pop culture to science. It also has some stories--hopefully they are amusing stories--from my life. ~Dan

God Knows Best Even When We Don't Understand
Sometimes a young child does not understand what a loving
parent is doing and the young child might even interpret the parent’s actions
as mean or cruel (for instance a doctor’s visit that involves a shot). The truth is that the parent knows much more
than the child and, frankly, the child doesn’t even know enough to realize how
much he/she doesn’t know.
This can happen with our interpretation of God’s ways. The gap between what God knows and
understands (which is literally everything) and what we know and understand
(which is extremely limited) is vast.
So, there may be times when we simply cannot comprehend why things are
happening. And God’s ways may seem to be
unkind.

God Is In Charge And He Knows What's Best
It is extremely irritating and offensive to our human pride
to recognize that God is running the universe and that He does not require our
input in order to run things properly.
That’s why it’s helpful to realize that He genuinely cares about us and
He knows what is best for us.

God's Work In Us Is Always Intentional And Purposeful
God knows everything about us. He knows us better than we know
ourselves. When God allows us to
experience struggles and difficulties He does so with a complete knowledge of
which character traits in us need to be developed. God’s work in us is not always easy, in fact,
it can be extremely challenging and painful.
But His work in us is never random.
He is always intentional and purposeful and He is always right.

God Cares And God Knows So Keep Praying
There are some issues that I have prayed about for a long
time and sometimes I think, “When, God?” Or, “Are you listening?” Someone might be inclined to tell me, “Forget
it. Give up. You’re wasting your time.” But I trust that God cares about me and I
trust that He knows. So, I believe that
I should keep praying.
