So my roommate told me that I needed to meet with the Lord today. Partly because I havn't actually sat down and entered into his world through the Bible in a week or so, and I was saying that out loud and so my roommate said, "You sit right down and you meet with the Lord."

So I sat in my 47 year old blue chair and I got my Bible out and my devotional book, and I delved into world that is constantly surprising to me. I read Psalm 103 this morning and something caught my eye. In verse 9 of that Psalm it says that "He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever."

I thought about this and I realized that they used an absolute word here. Always. But it was being denoted. The author said he does not always. Which means he is not as consitent as we think. And then I read the second part of the verse and it said "nor will he harbor his anger forever," and I realized that someone who has anger has a choice on what he is going to do with his anger.

God can choose what he wants because He is not absolute.

Oh, my head hurts.

I also read some awesome Samuel Shoemaker which I will blog about later.

Sure God is absolute, you just gotta stick Him in a context first :)
