trying not to get long winded
I know that the scripture and its teaching seem almost too dry and narrow minded to be the actual Word of God. Maybe it shows it's self too strict and unobtainable for others. But it has always been straight and to the point. You also have to simplify your thoughts if you’re going to make it through the narrow gate.
In 2nd kings 5: (I believe I don't have my bible on me right now) but there was this general that had leprosy and the man of God told him to wash himself 7 times in the river Jordan, then he would be clean from the disease. The general was so stumped at the logic of it; he became very upset and started to leave. Then one of the general’s servants said "if he would have asked you to do something great, would you have not gone and done it?"
God knows that we are simple people that look at things that have great importance and figure that there's some type of trick to it, or theirs something you got to do... just to complicate it. Look at your job when you first started or school. Look at when we first start attending college classes or maybe some kind of technical training. When we first started it, we lack the understanding of how easy it really can be. Take for example; I did my own taxes on-line last year and was scared that I was going to do something wrong and I was going to get audited and have to pay some kind of fee or whatever. After I was done...it was like "wow...It wasn't that hard after all". So I did it again this year with confidence and no doubts. But when ever we first look at something new we'll say "Heck I don't understand it so it must be difficult"...but we do that, not God.
God had and has made it easy for us. Just step out on faith and he'll meet you.
look you shall find...ask and you shall receive...knock and the door will be opened.
