Open my ears Lord!

Love my cell. :) had cell in malaysia today.. oops! i mean Delia's cosy home.

What spoke to me the most was when Willard talked about us living in a world much too obsessed by practical concerns. one governed by a fallen ideology. I.e. our minds are shaped such that we do not included God in the physicality of life.. we don't see God as a reason for scientific experiments, if you get what i mean.

What matters most is that we have a genuine, living relationship with God. He quoted from 2 Kings.. The king of Syria was at war with Israel. Eeverytime he laid his battle plans, Elisha would tell them to the king of Israel. One day the king of Syria went right to the heart of the problem. He went to capture Elisha. When Elisha's young helper stepped outside one morning he found they were completely surrounded by Syrian troops.

"When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. "Oh, my lord, what shall we do?" the servant asked.

"Don't be afraid," the prophet answered. "Those who are with us are more than those who are with them."

And Elisha prayed, "O LORD, open his eyes so he may see." Then the LORD opened the servant's eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha." --- 2 Kings 6:15-17

Spiritual reality is a type of reality that does not necessarily reveal itself to good eyesight. Every working of visible reality is a movement within the encompassing Logos, the Word of God, and it rests on nothing else but God through his Son (Heb 1:1-3). God CAN speak to us! and He should! and He does! and He would!

yay.
