Let Go and Let God

Image
We have all heard the words, “Let go and let God”. Though oft-repeated phrases can sometimes lose their impact over time and become cliche, the truth resonates.

I have struggled with anxiety most of my life. I have also had debilitating Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Because of these, unproductive striving is a great issue for me. Full of agitation, I hold problems to my chest, worrying, fretting, and expending stressful energy. In an effort at control I obsess over details, preoccupied with doing. I find myself caught up with ever more strenuous intensity. This turmoil feeds itself. There is rumination over the future, with what-ifs, fearful of the lack of requirements I perceive are not happening in the present. The unknown brings a nervous fear. I try to pray these moments through, yet often had the experience of prayer itself being an act of flustered stress instead of a meaningful appeal. Thankfully, God is wonderfully patient.

It makes little sense to our frayed nerves we must …

Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People?

What I am exploring today may at first strike the reader as cold and unfeeling. If you bear with me, you will see the direction I am going.

Why do bad things happen to good people? It is debated in every generation. The question, and the manifold experiences evoked, is a heavy topic.

Rather than thrusting the why not as a weapon toward others, it is something I must first ask myself.

Our Superficial View of God

Image
People in our day have a trivial view of God. If relevant at all, we mold a god in our own image. He is a bearded grandfather smiling in the sky and overlooking our peccadilloes. Our god is much like Santa Claus, giving what we ask when called for and needed. A vague, superficial notion of love is seen in this, a "love light” from a remote, disinterested deity with which we possess no wish to devote our lives. With awe of God reduced, our esteeming of ourselves as independent and self-sufficient captains of our own ship elevates.

The view of God in our culture is so low we reversed roles. It is as if we are the masters and unless He answers to us, we have no need of Him. If we knew of God's holiness, there would be trembling at such presumption. In the secular world, a bare understanding that God is a supreme being is lacking, let alone His awesome righteousness and glory. Yet, in the liberalizing minds of the church, holiness is also subverted. With the failure to recognize…
