I believe that most people are spiritually hungry today. People are looking for answers, but they aren't always looking in the right places, or in the right ways.
God has given us His Word to be read and understood in context. He has given us prayer and the wise council of mature Christians as well as experience.
Unfortunately, even if we are able to avail ourselves of all of these tools, seeking God's will also takes time, effort and sacrifice. Unfortunately, this means that, in our impatient world, we often look for spiritual shortcuts.
So, with that thought in mind let's look at the topic of our October Edition of the Heavenly Top Ten, which is:
Top Ten Silly Ways
of Determining God's Will
- Playing spin the Bible!
- Playing pin the tail on the prophet!
- Embarking on an Oreo fast!
- Interpreting the ring on your bathtub!
- Seeking the hidden meaning from the prize in your Kinder Egg!
- Watching Oprah!
- Attempting to psychically link with your pet budgie!
- Playing tapes of the Bible backwards and looking for hidden messages!
- Watching the shopping network!
- And the number one silly way
of determining God's will is: - Reading the foam on your Orange Mocha Frappuccino!
The Heavenly Top Ten is intended to be a fun look at
issues of faith and fellowship. It should not be considered a serious treatment
of
any of the topics presented.
