"Poor God! Poor Jesus!"

Poor, poor God. He is so tied up with us that sometimes the best He has to offer us is using His feather duster! That's about as powerful as He is to us. Our lives, our world just seems too strong for Him. There are those whose sins are so high and deep that He just doesn't have the ability to reach them, much less forgive them. The Lord would love to make a difference in the lives of so many but He is helpless. We are such complex people, with so many variety of complexities that it seems the Lord has come to a gun fight with a water balloon!! What can God really do?

Poor, poor Jesus. He is so weak with all the church problems going on. Men that are elders that shouldn't be and they need to be removed so many rise up against them, just like politics demanding for the their removal. Jesus is so limited because there are things going on He can do nothing about!! Things that go on in among the brethren that just aren't right and nothing is done so we do it! We take on the attitudes that are less than what they should because Jesus can't do one thing about them. 

That's the way many see the Lord God and our Savior. The words are said that Jesus is the head of the church but we act like He is the head of nothing. Our lives get so over-loaded with worries and fears and it seems God just sits, watching, waiting hoping things will work out if we make the right move at the right time. We seem to miss the Creator and Savior. Our world was called into existence from nothing but a spoken word. A human body formed from dust and all it took was God's breath and mans internal organs and functions began to operate in the way He intended them to operate. A Lord that walked among us, raised the dead, healed the sick and went to a cross only to raise from the dead. He is alive and well. He is the head of His church and knows ever little detail that is going on. His power to remove or allow gain is completely under His oversight. 

Where do we live? Do we see a Father with power and a Lord with might? Do we believe He controls all things or are those just words spoken because that's what we are to say? The men and women mentioned in Hebrews 11 held tightly to the God and Savior of their lives. They lived in difficult situations, met with cruel death and watched loved on carried away. Yet in all this, they knew their Lord and Savior that He was in control no matter what! It's called faith and that faith moved them forward not complaining and kicking! They saw the power of God and moved within Him knowing all is well and under His control. There was no weak God or helpless Jesus!
