On New Years Day I spent most of the afternoon, quietly in thought. We were to have supper with my uncle and aunt who had been away at Christmas.
As I started to get myself ready, thoughts came to me about the idea of "putting it out to the universe". I have heard that so much lately. What is that?
You write your "want" on a piece of paper and "put it out to the universe". Are you asking the universe to grant your wish?
The universe is a place I live, like my house or my city. I don't ask my house or my city to grant my wishes. I don't get it.
There are many places in the Bible were we are directed to ask God and we will receive. (Matthew 7:7-12, John 14: 13 - 16, James 4: 1-3).
What I wonder is this: The idea or suggestion of "putting it out to the universe" sounds like there is a belief in some sort of "higher power". Why is it so hard to acknowledge God? Is it because of "pride"? Is it because people are angry with God, because He isn't what their idea of God is? Have they really made a point of finding out who God really is ?
I find it much easier to believe in Our Creator (the creator of the universe), than in the universe (like my house or city) having some magic power to grant my wishes. It is much more fulfilling and life-filling to believe in God and pray to Him.
