This morning I am marveling the frailty of humanity, particularly our bodies. I am, at times, frustrated by the brokenness of my body. This morning I wasn't feeling well and I wasn't happy about it... but then out of nowhere a idea flew through my brain. Psalm 139... God literally knit me together and knows all the frailty and frustration in my body. I know this is simple, but it feels like the first time I have truly contemplated the full meaning of that verse.
I have been contemplating a lot of different stuff this morning actually. I have been up for hours and have been at work since well before normal time. I have been thinking about providence, free will, choice, good of all, salvation and sanctification. That is a lot to have swimming around in my head on top of my own human frailty. (Some of this randomness I am going to blame on lack of sleep and my current obsession with classic rock.) I know I often over think things, but it seems to me that God has made understanding faith very difficult. From the why we have such easily broken bodies to trying to determine whether entire sanctification can be truly known on this earth, I feel like I have many questions.
