Isaiah 47-49
The Bible is a story of God
trying to reason with humans.
These chapters are full of it.
God trying to get humans to look around them and see, based on the
facts, that He takes care of the earth, that He loves them, and that He has a
plan for them both.
My daughter asked me last night
if God still did miracles. I
reminded her of her new, yet to be born, cousin Bray. His 3-D ultrasound picture, the wealth of knowledge the
doctors already have of him months before he is out of the womb, the fact that
we already know he is a he. Why do
we know all this? So that if there
are anything wrong the doctors can work to fix it. Most of the world still have babies the old fashion way, 9
months of mystery and then, here’s a new human. “Is that not a miracle?” I asked.
“No, I mean a real miracle!” she
said.
“I love you!” I said, expressing
the ultimate reasoning of the existence of miracles. I don’t think she got it,
but neither does the world.
“For God so loved the world…”
