"I want to know all God's thoughts; all the rest are just details."
Albert Einstein
For some it may seem that the world is a result of chance or that if there is a God he plays little role in the life of human beings. Those who think like that become more important in their own eyes. They are concerned with filling their own appetites and they thrive on their own wisdom. But for the Christian life is very different. Paul the apostle said: "To live is Christ." He had died to the things of self and was only interested in the will of God and the fulfilment of his purposes. It was in this that Paul found his perfect fullness. Everything else fell away as unimportant.
Two passages of scripture come to mind:
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the Lord. (Isaiah 55:8)
"The foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom." (1 Corinthians 1:25)
Have you ever come to the moment in life where God stood you in a place in time, the size of which only your body could rest?

It was then then that my soul chose God. Life is my gift and He is my sustainer - I hold it all in a breath.
