God thoughts...

'Do you think I cannot call on my Father,
and He will at once put at my disposal more than 12 legions of angels?
But how then would the scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?'
Matt. 26:53-54

Jesus seems to be asking me this same question, similar but with obviously different circumstances. I think the meanign is not lost.

What do I believe God can/can't do? Then, what is the truth?
In reality, what is often the case 'must happen this way'for various reasons. Some reasons we get to know and understand, while others we never will. For example, God must remain consistent with his character, our character needs developement. So we can reject God or choose to learn something new about His character.

let my heart live

Lift up my head in this time of trouble,
Carry me when I can't carry on.

Look like we're pretty broken this time;
downcast, disturbed, Oh my soul!
Let my heart live!

Put your hope in God,
for I will still praise him,
my Saviour and my God.

questions I ask myself

If I asked you for something would I see it?
I'm not sure if I have the faith that I would.

If you asked me to follow you, I know I should.
If only my life and my heart would convince you that I could.

If I was in trouble and close to death,
would I trust that you could save me?
No, what I fear is that I have so little faith.
