Deuteronomy 34:1-4
Our second subtitle to “Being Positive” is “Keep focusing on God’s
purpose.” What is God’s purpose
for you? It’s quite simple, to
love Him. It’s amazing how many
people find it impossible to love God.
Science has done that to us.
We have regulated, by faith, all knowledge and wisdom to science. Try this: think for a moment about your
body, your physical, biological body, its cells, fluids, organs, etc. Science has been able to tell us so
much about our bodies and I’m a great recipient of scientific knowledge in just
being alive.
Now think about you -- not your body, but you. Think about your loves and hurts, your desires, cares, hopes
and dreams, your meaning, your deeply held values, those loves that are so
fulfilling that at times they cause you a physical ache….“that you that you are.” Science cannot explain any of
that. In fact, because science
can’t quantify these areas they arrogantly dismissed them long ago as
meaningless cause and affect instincts.
But deep down we all know which “we”, we are. Science and faith must always be “faithfully wed” in order
for humans to live complete lives and the ultimate purpose of that completeness
is to “Love God.”
I’m sitting out on our porch in the darkness of early morning listening
to it rain. Science can tell me a
lot about rain, but it can’t explain why I like sitting listening to it.
Don’t you just love God?!!
