This week end I had the opportunity to catch a glimpse of how God might see some of our Human actions...
We have a large back yard with over a hundred trees, and a running creek in the back corner...
It is fenced and somewhat secluded...
Our dog died a couple of years ago, so now it has become home to several wild cats...
There are several sets of kittens living in the yard in past months, and we do not feed them on any regular basics...
From time to time I will throw out food that they can eat...
Of course they run at the sight of anyone, and if you pick up one of the small kittens they hiss and growl... They even attempt to bite or scratch you as you hold them by the scuff of the neck....
{Which is a natural tendency or action for anyone they do not know...}
Then just the other day I thought how my some what hidden actions of providing the kittens with food and allowing them shelter under a trailer and some old fence in the secluded is beyond their comprehension or understanding...
To them much like the hidden hand of God in our lives we/ they do not really understand the over all meaning of the helping hand of the Provider... It just happens or magically appears for our / their needs...
In this some what over simplified view; I can sense a bit of how God must feel...
But it does give a very limited perspective to our narrow view of life and the role of God on this planet earth!
They react to me like many humans today, accepting the gifts of God, yet not wanting to really come to know HIM...
They treat the provider with awe and fear, running at any mention or sense of the provider in their lives...
Have you ever thought about from where or how most of the things in your life came to be?
Maybe we are not much better than dumb (restricted intelligence) animals; when it comes to our God; Provider, in our earthly life!
