Always told my kids that fair is not always equal. Now it’s my turn to try and believe that about God.
Hi Beck.. and I’ve always had a problem with that! LOL.. thinkin.. “God must love you best”
This one was outstanding! You hooked me with the title and reeled me in with the truth. Way to go Bryan, and I loved the last use of the word fair. Very good sir, loved it!
you’ve become my new marketing guy DF! thanks for your endorsements
Glad to be of service my friend.
The F BOMB LOL.
You are correct that some will assume the other F word. Lol but this one is used a lot when everyone thinks some one is getting anything better than them. Like spoiled rotten kids but it isn’t as funny when adults do it.
Hi Linda OH! … I’m one o dem spoiled adults .. my tantrums can be seen in my nutshell sermons! LOL
And here I thought we were about to get a lesson on “Christian Cussing” like to old Gene Scott used to do TV.
all the real people I know, understand why we use specific words all the time.. unfortunately they communicate better than Pablum
Thanks, Uncle L! I kept trying to guess the other F word…faith, forgiveness…but those were more than four letters. My grandson is always complaining about things not being fair.
Hi Robbin.. my sibs kids always called me Uncle Dunky! LOL
Had me worried for a split second. The f-word. My kid liked to say “but dad that’s not fair ” all the time.. my respond:life ain’t fair, get over it.. the eagles wrote a great song. “Get over it”. Pretty much says it all. Thank Bryan. Perspective is a good thing. During the week of the holiday Sukkot leviticus 23:33-34, we read through the book of ecclesiasties.. tends to keep us grounded…..
Hey MK! my dad would always say fair? only pigs win at the fair! LOL
makes me think of current marketing where the advertisement says “I Deserve” a new car , new shirt, new shoes – fill in the blank. drives me crazy! do I really deserve a Ferrari? We get what we earn when it comes to stuff. I’m thankful God doesn’t work that way. he freely hands out blessings, grace and love and a whole bunch more. we just often are not good at seeing it or our focus is what we don’t have – it’s not fair
advertising has always bugged me for the same reason.. they kiss up to people because they just want yer money! I think the same things all the time.. “You deserve a break today” I say when I don’t wanna!
I understand how you feel about the word Fair my friend. I see a lot of my friends and family that are well into their calling, and I’ve been with the Lord for 45 years and I’m still wondering what my calling is LOL so I’m thinking Lord this doesn’t seem fair. Then I think, there’s nothing wrong with God it’s impossible, so it’s got to be me and that makes me feel even worse LOL
Oswald mentions that.. the longer we walk in obedience to God.. “his purposes become more and more vague”.. makes sense.. we just do the next right thing in his purpose.. and the big things are seldom shown to us in the way of our credit
