1 | Peace...? | 2 Tim 2:15 | Zsuzsi | 121935 | ||
Thank you so much for this, Justme. I DO love the Lord, very-very much, but I think my parents would be more proud of me if I became a scientist instead of a theologian (both of them are physicists). They actually stated that I am only allowed to study theology afterwards if I also earn a degree in a natural science. But if that's the price, I will pay it... They got divorced when I was 4, since then I have lived with my mother. Right now I see my dad twice a year... We don't go to church and don't pray together; my own family is a mission field for me! But I cannot be proud of my wisdom or knowledge; God freely gave to me everything that I have. "For the LORD gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding." (Prov 2:6) "Freely you have received, freely give." (Matt 10:8) For me, learning from Him is actually the sweetest thing in the world. :-) "His mouth is sweetness itself; he is altogether lovely." (Song 5:16) I usually start praying and reading the Bible when I go to bed (as a high school student I have very little time for that during the day), and I can be so absorbed in it that sometimes I find myself still awake at half past 3 in the night... Often the Lord Himself needs to remind me that even He slept! But the more I learn about Him, the more I see how little I know. "You have filled my heart with greater joy than when their grain and new wine abound. I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety." (Psalm 4:7-8) Thank you again for your encouragement and blessings; may God bless you richly too. Your little sister in Christ, Zsuzsi |

In the book of Proverbs it says to get wisdom and with it understanding so why not study both the sciences and God. Science will only lead you back to the one who created all.What a wonderful way to worship God than to continue proving His majesty and creative power to a world who does not know Him. Some very impressive people in history have a back ground of faith in God like Columbus who wrote in his journals that he found in the bible the world was round and set off to prove it, and many others. You said your own family needs to meet the God you know and love and I say why not use their own mindset to open their hearts up to Him. The doors of opportunities God is opening up in your life are so great being as you are young and love Him so much let Him show you the path He wants you to take and on that path you will have the peace youre looking for. | ||||||

Yes I know... :) I actually love the sciences too; I do see God's design behind them. But I like studying directly about God more than studying indirectly about Him through the sciences... The impressive people you talked about went from God to the sciences; you see, I would rather like to go from the sciences to Him... ;) But it should not be about what I would personally like but what He calls me to do. I am looking forward to walking the path He is showing me! Blessings, Zsuzsi |
