How God Aware Are You

How God Aware Are You

Do you realize that some people are totally oblivious? You can bump into them almost every day! And you know why you can so easily bump into them? Yep, you guessed it, because they are oblivious! Not just oblivious to the things immediately around them, but to everything around them! It’s really weird when you find people like that! That which may be common sense to you, are like an uncommon sense to them! Have you ever met someone like that? Like have you seen people that walk around but they are staring at their cell phone? How do they not get run over or fall in an open man hole or run into a pole?

When some are told some things are on a higher level, they look for an elevator?

So then as you get older and wiser, you hopefully become more aware of more things. You learn how to take care of your household, provide and repair things. You learn things outside of your house, work and politics and things to do in the community and what’s important and what’s not, what’s good, what’s bad, what to avoid and what to go after, what’s smart and what’s dumb.

Last words of a redneck: hey guys watch this!

At some point some of you even become God aware! What is that? It’s knowing that all this had to come from somewhere and the big bang ain’t it. Even the scientists are even saying it’s not it as there had to have been something before the big bang, and at some point they’ll figure it something before that, etc, and maybe at some point they’ll realize the Bible was right that God created everything. Some people get that.

But anyway people start realizing they have a God hole in their heart and desire to get to know God. They at some point realize God is pure and holy and that we all are sinners and need salvation! They come to realize that Jesus came to be their redeemer and get saved and born spiritually! And then after salvation, they become that new creature (2 Cor 5:17) and they grow even more spiritually and read their Bible and grow and hopefully by the time they die they have grown closer to God and have changed from being that previously sinful selfish person to doing good for others and doing righteous deeds and abounding in love and forgiveness.

Some people are blind to their surroundings, but Spiritual blindness can be more detrimental than regular blindness. What’s worse, falling in a man hole, or being doomed for eternity?

What if you didn’t have religious friends or even the Bible, tho, to guide you, how would you even become God aware? How would you get there? There’s all sorts of things that point to God.

Romans 1:20

“For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse.”

Just the fact that you see churches on every corner shows you that people know there’s a God and something more than just this physical world. In other ways, just seeing evil things be it pentagrams on album covers, or the evil some people engage in, or just the signs of the times shows you there’s more to this life than what’s in arm’s reach.

John 3:8

The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”

How do you hold intangibles? How do you put it in your hands? Some people have to have black and white, they can’t handle shades of gray.

Some people say if they see it, feel it or touch it then it isn’t real and they don’t believe it, and so they blind themselves to the truth to their eventual peril. Sometimes deep concepts are hard to figure out for some people and so they don’t even try to spend any time on it, but only lazily deal with the low hanging fruit of what’s around them. It seems silly to me to be that way but there’s a lot like that!

There are of course different kinds of faith: faith that can move mountains, saving faith, faith that something will come to pass, faith as a system of beliefs. Some things take faith, and some people can't grasp certain concepts to come to certain understandings. They are… oblivious. Some people are even spiritually oblivious. I hope you are not oblivious. Many times Christians see what others just do not - spiritually speaking. Some things which seem so obvious to Christians and yet the lost people can be so oblivious like the saying it’s as plain as the nose on your face but they just can’t see it! Pray for the spiritually blind that their eyes will be opened.
