Why we cannot completely understand what troubles us.

Ok you got to put on your thinking caps here. God has spoken all things both physical and meta physical into existence. God has ordained from eternity past whatsoever comes to past in this world. Gods view is not limited to the sequence of time. God sees the beginning from the end in one snapshot. God does not follow people around to see what they are doing. God looks upon all mens hearts at one time. When God looks its not like our seeing with our eyes. God looks in a creative way. He is able to explain every thing that happens in reality. God makes His actions absolutely free by comparing His ability to create through big catastrophes of history. God exercises His power in volcano's, hurricanes, and any thing that we consider uncontrollable by man. But in Gods view the power of the volcano is exercised in one small cell. In Gods view the blessing and the cursing are absolute at all times. The worse that could happen never fails and the most unbelievable miracle that we can see always is successful at all times in all events.

This is what it means for God to be holy at all times. God acts according to His eternal power, in presence and knowledge. So God understands our problems in a relational way. He explains our problems perfectly for the purpose of working all things for our good and His glory. But what we need to see is that in order for us to understand ourselves in light of our problems we must get closer and closer to Gods view or His explanation in which we go beyond our explanation by speaking the simple language that He has given us that is in line with Gods detailed language. The language of the bible is not words but spirit.

God is relational in dealing with our problems. He has created us with the same expression that He has towards us when we face these problems. God has created all things and given us authority over the earth to also create. God does not explain His faithfulness by describing it in Himself but He explains it as it is interrelated to us. The problem is that we cannot completely justify Gods acts toward us in His faithfulness because we are not available to communicate with Him. In other words and in some ways we are too weak to hear the reasons that God does what He does and remain faithful in His promises. I do not believe this frustration is because of our sin.

Self understanding does not come from personal atonement but rather learning how to communicate to God according to His word so that we express love, anger, fear, joy, and sorrow in the way that He is successful in creating and recreating. In other words the bible tells us the best way to mirror Gods way of doing things. This is why Gods recreations are not just intellectual commands but they are also spiritual powers and in some ways emotional...in the sense that He lowers Himself to our level so that He can identify with us and bring us back to His mysterious perfect description of all things.

This is why the Psalmist expressed His understanding of himself in his meditations, praises and curses. We must understand that God in helping us understand ourselves has create our world as firm and fixed. God has made it so that we are secure and strong as we experience the kingdom pushing in on us. The more firm the world is around us the more we experience His covenant promises. He promises to always be kind, long suffering ,gentle, faithful, and loving. How do we go from the promise to the mysterious spiritual conversion?

We experience this by using the expressions that God has revealed...like ...praise, anger, hearing Him speak in the art of musing , questioning and pronouncing. When we become proficient in approaching God in this way we are in fellowship with a God who will listen to us. I mean not in the sense that He is pleased with our efforts but that the more we know the more we will know what He is saying and the more we will understand our problems. We are not all gifted with the same abilities so God has given us His word in which one word is the spirit of all the words. Once we understand one word it is enough to understand and experience deliverance as if we understood all the words.
