Leviticus 24:10-18 tells of the sin of a man that cursed God
and the consequences thereof. The seriousness of me cursing God is that nothing
I do will ever salvage that relationship. Once I blaspheme, honestly blaspheme
Him there are no more options. I have forced Him to see me on my ugliest level,
and have at that point told Him that I am OK, I can do it without Him. At that
point He tells me if this is how I want to live, then so be it. That to me is
different from arguing with God. When I ask God, “Why?” That is out of a need
to be consoled, a need to understand, and a lack of being able to grasp past my
three dimensions. That is not, contrary to popular belief, blasphemy.
And of course there is my stubbornness in thinking God is
weaker than he truly is. Isaiah 36:15-20, tells of the king of Assyria who in
his haughtiness couldn’t comprehend the great strength of God, or His great
love for Israel. Much as I do when I believe there are others much stronger
than He, and those have taken over leaving Him in the dust. When He actually
made the dust I think He is lying in, and actually He made the man that mocks
Him. And then there are those who are convinced that the jeerers are right, and
think they are advising me from the best of intentions, when truly the road of
to satan’s home is paved with good intentions. Nothing I can do can make me
comprehend just how great a God I serve and so I keep serving, and some day
I’ll be singing with Him in heaven.
