What Do I Know?

Don’t judge others, and God will not judge you. Matthew 7:1
And this is eternal life: that people can know you, the only true God, and that they can know Jesus Christ, the one you sent. John 17:3 
Going to God with judgments and preconceptions will only defeat the purpose of going to Him. We have to always keep in mind that He is our creator and we are not worthy enough to question Him, or try to do things our own way.

I love these Bible verses this morning. I especially like Romans 9:20-21. It really puts into perspective how we as humans should know God. He is our creator.He knows the timing and what needs to take place in our lives. He knows the right thing to do and we don't have to question it.

As I write this post a familiar song came on....."What Do I Know of Holy" by Addison Road. I absolutely love this song! It is amazing! And it really puts into words what I'm trying to say this morning. So take a listen here!

Here are the lyrics as well:
I made You promises a thousand times
I tried to hear from Heaven
But I talked the whole time
I think I made You too small
I never feared You at all No
If You touched my face would I know You?
Looked into my eyes could I behold You?

(CHORUS)
What do I know of You
Who spoke me into motion?
Where have I even stood
But the shore along Your ocean?
Are You fire? Are You fury?
Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?
What do I know? What do I know of Holy?

I guess I thought that I had figured You out
I knew all the stories and I learned to talk about
How You were mighty to save
Those were only empty words on a page
Then I caught a glimpse of who You might be
The slightest hint of You brought me down to my knees

(CHORUS)
What do I know of You
Who spoke me into motion?
Where have I even stood
But the shore along Your ocean?
Are You fire? Are You fury?
Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?
What do I know? What do I know of Holy?

(CHORUS 2)
What do I know of Holy?
What do I know of wounds that will heal my shame?
And a God who gave life "its" name?
What do I know of Holy?
Of the One who the angels praise?
All creation knows Your name
On earth and heaven above
What do I know of this love?

(CHORUS)
What do I know of You
Who spoke me into motion?
Where have I even stood
But the shore along Your ocean?
Are You fire? Are You fury?
Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?
What do I know? What do I know of Holy?

What do I know of Holy?
What do I know of Holy?

Don’t ask that. You are only human and have no right to question God. A clay jar does not question the one who made it. It does not say, “Why did you make me like this?” The one who makes the jar can make anything he wants. He uses the same clay to make different things. He might make one thing for special purposes and another for daily use. Romans 9:20-21
God will make that happen at the right time. God is the blessed and only Ruler. He is the King of all kings and the Lord of all lords. 1 Timothy 6:15
