Interim

I have a post that I was working on, but it's not quite coherent, so I'm going to throw this one up here in the meanwhile.

Gideon is a lot of times viewed as a dope in the Bible. Here he is, being spoken to by the God of the universe, who clearly pulled the Israelites out of the both bondage and wilderness, and Gideon is still unsure, to the point where he decides to ask God to prove exactly who He is. It's a ridiculous concept, and one that I know a lot of pastors cringe at.

However, I think sometimes, we should be so bold as to ask God exactly what the extent of His power, His word, and His promises are. Isn't anyone else curious just how far God's grace and mercy extends? Is it just for us pious people, who make it out to church every Sunday?

Or is this the kind of God who could save this city, who could save this world, if only we'd be so bold to ask?

Could we, just for once, give God a shot at being God?

Let's see if His word in Psalm 34 holds true:

8 Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good!
Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!
9 Oh, fear the LORD, you his saints,
for those who fear him have no lack!
10 The young lions suffer want and hunger;
but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.
