If God Had a Facebook Status...

...  It would read, "God is God".
Please don't ask me why I'm writing this, it just popped into my head and God won't let me not write it.  I don't actually want to, I'm just being obedient and hoping that if I do, the phrase "If God had a Facebook status, it would read, 'God is God'," will leave my head.  It's starting to get annoying.  As I'm writing this, I know I have stuff to say on it that's Biblical truth, and I know Holy Spirit is giving me wisdom in it, but it sucks, 'cause I really DON'T want to.
So, here it goes...

God is God.

Matthew 6:25-26"If you decide for God, living a life of God-worship, it follows that you don't fuss about what's on the table at mealtimes or whether the clothes in your closet are in fashion. There is far more to your life than the food you put in your stomach, more to your outer appearance than the clothes you hang on your body. Look at the birds, free and unfettered, not tied down to a job description, careless in the care of God. And you count far more to him than birds. 27-29"Has anyone by fussing in front of the mirror ever gotten taller by so much as an inch? All this time and money wasted on fashion—do you think it makes that much difference? Instead of looking at the fashions, walk out into the fields and look at the wildflowers. They never primp or shop, but have you ever seen color and design quite like it? The ten best-dressed men and women in the country look shabby alongside them. 30-33"If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers—most of which are never even seen—don't you think he'll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? What I'm trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God's giving. People who don't know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don't worry about missing out. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met. 34"Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don't get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes."

So yeah...  

God is good at getting under our skin and convicting us isn't he?  Father is in control, he loves us and cares for us and will not let us starve or die or anything like that.  Why do I worry?  Or am I just having a pity party?  Probably the latter.

I'm going to end this now I think, because I've put it out there, as God has so strongly enjoyed making me do.  He just loves to stretch us.  Loves to take another issue to the cross.  Well Lord, if you're going to kill me, you're going to resurrect me better, so bring it, okay!?  Garsh!
