and God said…”be logical.”
isn’t that what He said? no?
i’m sick and tired of hearing about logic. it makes me want to vomit.
what is logic anyway? well…in the simplest terms i’ve found, logic is a branch of philosophy that studies the principles of valid demonstration and inference. ok, so, valid demonstration: tangible evidence that something works. the term inference refers to the reasoning involved in drawing a conclusion or making a logical judgment on basis of circumstantial evidence and prior conclusions. basically, coming to a decision by what you already know to “work” or already have evidence that it will work in front of you.
Not one place in scripture do I find where God moves and calls His people to use logic to test Him and make sure what He’s moving them to will work out.
God requires full surrender and immediate obedience.
What about Abel, and Enoch, and Noah, and Abraham, and Sarah?
“By faith, Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous…and through his faith, though he died, he still speaks.
“By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was commended as having pleased God. And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household. By this he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.
By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. AND HE WENT OUT, NOT KNOWING WHERE HE WAS GOING. By faith, he went to live in the land of promise…
By faith Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered him faithful who had promised.” -Hebrews 11:4-12
What else does God say about being reasonable and logical?
“If you are not firm in faith, you will not be firm at all.” -Isaiah 7:9
“For still the vision waits its appointed time; it hastens to the end–it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay. Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright within him, but the righteous shall live by his faith.” -Habakkuk 2:3-4
“For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to the mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.” -Matthew 17:20
“And Jesus answered them, ‘Have faith in God. Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” -Mark 11:22-24
“The apostles said to the Lord, ‘Increase our faith!’ And the Lord said, ‘If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.” -Luke 17:5-6
“For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, ‘The righteous shall live by faith.’” -Romans 1: 17
“That is why it depends on faith, in order that the promise may rest on grace and be guaranteed to all his offspring–not only to the adherent of the law but also to the one who shares the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all, as it is written, ‘I have made you a father among the nations’–in the presence of God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist. In hope, he believed against hope, that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been told, ‘So shall your offspring be.’ he did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was as good as dead (since he was about a hundred years old), or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah’s womb. No distrust made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to Go, fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised. That is why his faith was ‘counted to him among the righteous.’ But the words ‘counted for to him’ were not written for his sake alone, but for ours also. It will be counted to us who beleive in him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord, who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification.” -Romas 4:16-25
“THEREFORE, SINCE WE HAVE BEEN JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, WE HAVE PEACE WITH GOD THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. THROUGH HIM WE HAVE ALSO OBTAINED ACCESS BY FAITH INTO THIS GRACE IN WHICH WE STAND, AND WE REJOICE IN HOPE OF THE GLORY OF GOD. more than that, WE REJOICE IN OUR SUFFERINGS, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.” -Romans 5:1-5
So, therefore, I will do as the Lord says and walk where He has me to walk. I may not understand…in fact, I’ll probably never understand why He has me to move in a certain direction at that time, but i do know that He is my Shepherd, and I, His sheep. For I live and move and find my being in Him; without Him, I am dead.
“Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised.” -Hebrews 10:35-36
So i say, poopoo on you mr. logic (i’m not even gonna capitalize your name…you sir are no proper noun)
GO AWAY and stay gone 
Faith. now that deserves a capital F…planted, nourished, rooted, sprouting, growing, and blooming by Him…the Creator of it all
