A friend just sent me an email with a link to theinterviewwithgod.com and it made me so sad. Someone has taken the time to put together these beautiful pictures of God's creation and some pretty (though repetitive) music and then they script a dream they had that they interviewed God. In this interview they put the words that they believe God would say to answer their questions. The reason this is so sad is because they are not the Words that God has already said! God has already spoken through the prophets and the apostles! God has given us His beautiful words which tell us of mercy from our deserved punishment, grace to have life more abundant, fruits of the Spirit, and so many more promises that we could ever completely appreciate with our finite minds!
Isaiah 55:9 "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts. NKJV
How could we pretend to know what God might say if we asked Him a question? The only way we would know is if God has already said it in His Word! How it must grieve God when His Words are not sufficient for our ticklish ears and we must write what we would say if we were God! At least the link is appropriately written with a little "g" for god. May God have mercy on all of us so that we can say: 11 Your word I have treasured in my heart, That I may not sin against You. 12 Blessed are You, O LORD; Teach me Your statutes. 13 With my lips I have told of All the ordinances of Your mouth. 14 I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies, As much as in all riches. 15 I will meditate on Your precepts And regard Your ways. 16 I shall delight in Your statutes; I shall not forget Your word. Psalm 119:11-16 NASU
May the Lord forgive me when I have falsely represented His word! Our words are like fool's gold, but God's Word has "given me life." Psalm 119:50
