"Higher Than I"

"Give the king Thy judgments, O God, and Thy righteousness unto the king's son." (Psalms 72:1) Depending on the degree of God's personal input that you believe that the Bible contains, is probably how you might view God's involvement in our personal lives; at least that's the way I see things playing out. I believe that God wants to be intimately involved with every aspect of our lives, just as He was intimately involved with every all forty authors of the Bible, and guided them in everything that they put into writing. When you study the Seven Days of Creation, you will find that God was very specific in His process and intent of putting things in their proper places; everything had order and meaning, even the Seventh Day, which was dedicated to rest; much like peace is felt in the heart of the craftsman who has just completed a major project, God's rest was a celebration of a beautiful accomplishment. That is the same feeling I get from reading Revelation 22:6-21, as God closing the Book with a sense of accomplishment; not just the Book of Revelation, but the entire Book of the Bible! God created the world in six days, but it took Him at least six centuries to write the Bible; and when I am talking about the times to write the Bible, I am talking about the living time of the those that did the writing. It is pretty obvious to me that God has put great care into getting us His Written Word; so too, we should put great care into reading it, and leaning what it is that God has to say to us, individually and personally. There are many people who do not feel that way, because they personally do not understand the Bible, nor do they believe that it was intended to be personally interpreted. The way I see it, if you think that God cannot speak to you through His word, then you really do not have the Word of God living in you (1 John 6:5-12). On a similar note; when you read the account of the flood (Genesis 7), there are at least 4 times where God states that "All flesh died" in the flood, as if He was very grieved by what He had to do; which is pretty close to the same meaning of Genesis 6:6, because God is intimately involved with His creation...
 "Most importantly, I want to remind you that in the last days scoffers will come, mocking the truth and following their own desires. They will say, "What happened to the promise that Jesus is coming again? From before the times of our ancestors, everything has remained the same since the world was first created." They deliberately forget that God made the heavens by the Word of His command, and He brought the earth out of the water and surrounded it with water. Then He used the water to destroy the ancient world with a mighty flood. And by the same Word, the present heavens and earth have been stored up for fire. They are being kept for the day of judgment, when ungodly people will be destroyed. But you must not forget this one thing, dear friends: A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day. The Lord isn't really being slow about His promise, as some people think. No, He is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent." (2 Peter 3:3-9) NLT
