The Windmills of Your Mind

I came across Proverbs 9:6 the other day. It reads "Leave your simple ways and you will live; walk in the ways of understanding."

Ted Turner once said that Christianity is religion for losers. Secular scholars say that the Bible is a book of myths and stories created by ancient people to help explain their world, but it is obsolete in the post-modern world. Now, I marvel at the advance of science over the years. From medicine to technology, the lives of some of the poorest people in America today far exceeds the comfort, convenience and quality of kings that lived just 200 years ago. Yet still, with all the great minds in the world, we continue to hear that science has "proven" that God does not exist. Science has solved it all and fulfills all our needs and the idea of a God is an illogical psychological dependency for weak minded people.

But God (I love that statement! ....but God..sorry, I got side tracked). But, God says that in His reality all of our super human thinking that brings us all of these great discoveries in fact points to His existence! Any idea or logic that we come up with that we use to try an kill God's existence He calls "simple ways" and we should leave them lest we die. Isn't that what He's told us right from the beginning? If we eat that fruit we will surely die and the wages of sin is death.

I think it's great that God loves us so much he gave us His Word. Our prideful ideas are simply deadly. But, walking in the ways of God is brilliant!
