Description
You’re on a need-to-know basis.
When we say we are understanding, we often mean that we are sympathetic to someone's plight, but we don't understand the situation completely without being that person. On the other hand, God being God, understands us completely. He made us.
When we make something, like a pie, we know the ingredients and the proportions and how long it is to bake and whether to serve it warm or with ice cream. How much more God understands us. In Psalms, the writer says God knows we are "but dirt," or as stated in "The Message," mud. Now that is humbling, but it is not a excuse for how we live.
God also made us in His image, according to the Bible, and breathed life into that clump of mud. Isn't it nice to know that there is more to us than earth and water?
As a child we made mud pies for others or maybe to toss around. That was what we were able to do, but as an adult we can bless others so much more as God has given each one of us special abilities.
It should excite us to know that we have a purpose here beyond the mud puddle. The main purpose is to love God with all our hearts, mind, and strength. We are also to love our neighbors. Here is where our abilities come into play.
Now may our need-to-know become a desire-to-live for God and others. Let's make a pie and share it today and not to just toss the mud around.
