Our GOD is indeed Adequate for us, all we need do is realize it......

(OUR fullness and victory LAYS IN OUR KNOWLEDGE THAT WITHOUT GOD WE ARE INADEQUATE AND THAT WITH HIM WE ADEQUATE)


Wow, wow, wow wow wow...., something incredible struck me today, "sometimes we miss it by thinking that in our trying so hard and in self condemnation lays our satisfaction and solace, to please God"

I surely do not think so at least not anymore! i was going through an article concerning contrasts between psychology and and christian psychological counseling, i realised that humankind is trying so hard to find adequacy in himself, and psychology seems to be playing a significant role in doing efforts to do so. Hence (humanity is a being in constant trial and error..)

I guess what struck me the most is that, 'we' as humanity THINK WE'VE GOT ALL THE ANSWERS for everything, BUT THE TRUTH IS WE DON'T! at least not for all of the things we experience, for some yeah WE MAY HAVE but WE don't have all of them! the war and debate in the article i was reading was that, IN HUMANITY LAYS ALL THE ANSWERS TO ALL OUR PROBLEMS and that IT'S ONLY IN HOW WE SEE OURSELVES THAT WE BEGIN TO RISE OVER THE SURFACE TOWARDS VICTORY. Well i don't know what to say, in a way the strong belief in this view is that HUMANITY IN ITSELF IS ADEQUATE! If that's the case there is therefore now no room for JESUS CHRIST'S SIGNIFICANCE IN OUR LIVES. Which is where i got a whole lot worried about the reconciliation between PSYCHOLOGY AND CHRISTIANITY.

My stand and opinion however remains that, "UNLESS AND UNTIL MANKIND ENCOUNTERS THE REALITY OF GOD'S BEING HE REMAINS AS RESTLESS AS THE WONDERING WIND" meaning in our own selves lays no answer(s) not even for the simplest situation you may think of.

So what then? i am sure you may be wondering, well i quote St.Augustine to conclude my thought when he said, "When anyone realizes that in himself he is nothing and from himself he has no help, the weapons within him are broken, the wars are over. But all the weapons of impiety must be shattered, broken, and burned; you must remain unarmed, you must have no help in yourself. The weaker you are in yourself, the more readily the Lord will receive you." meaning that unless we seek, realize and desire to know, believe and ultimately encounter the BEING of God we remain unsure of who we are, what we are and how and what we ought to commit our whole existence to.

I wish US ALL the best IN OUR faithfully AND BOLDLY acknowledgment of our INADEQUACY and our DEEP NEED to find FULFILLMENT and adequacy in the LIVING GOD.

PSALM 124....

Psalm 124

A song of ascents, by David.

124:1 “If the Lord had not been on our side” –

let Israel say this! –

124:2 if the Lord had not been on our side,

when men attacked us,3

124:3 they would have swallowed us alive,

when their anger raged against us.

124:4 The water would have overpowered us;

the current4 would have overwhelmed us.

124:5 The raging water

would have overwhelmed us.

124:6 The Lord deserves praise,

for he did not hand us over as prey to their teeth.

124:7 We escaped with our lives,10 like a bird from a hunter’s snare.

The snare broke, and we escaped.

124:8 Our deliverer is the Lord,

the Creator of heaven and earth.

IF IT WEREN'T FOR THE LORD'S ADEQUACY TO US AND IN OUR LIVES; WHERE WOULD WE BE? 'NOWHERE, ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE!'(OUR ADEQUACY LAYS IN OUR KNOWLEDGE THAT WITHOUT GOD WE ARE INADEQUATE AND THAT WITH HIM WE ADEQUATE)
