I suppose that all depends on how a person defines meaningful. Meaningful to what? Meaningful to who (or is that whom)?
I have mentioned before that I am a nanny. I am so much a nanny the oldest one (2.5 yrs) calls me "Nanny" and the youngest (1 yr in 4 days!), as she can't quite figure out "Nanny", refers to me as "Na-Na". I never thought I'd be a NaNa at 21. Nanny, yes. NaNa, not so much. I'm just saying, I thought that was reserved for the highly esteemed "Grandma" position.
Anyways, Baby Girl helped open my eyes to how early things start. As some of you may know, I have been fighting off this annoying little cold for quite some time now, and let's just say I tend to sneeze a LOT. I noticed yesterday that Baby Girl looks at me skeptically when I sneeze, as if she doesn't quite believe that I am, in fact, sneezing. It's a fascinating thing how even a baby can deny the truth of something right before her very eyes. There was absolutely no denying the fact that I was infact sneezing. It did happen. it was fact. Yet, how often is that we denying the facts that are given to us? Truth is not relative people. There is truth. There is in fact only ONE truth. The idea that there could be more than one truth is absurd. Truth is a fact. Fact is something that actually exists. A pen can not be pink for one person and black for another. One is true and one is false. One person couldn't see me sneeze while another person, at the exact same time, in the exact same situation couldn't say that I didn't. Fact is, Baby Girl, I sneezed. It happened.
Which brings me to my next observation. Husband and I went to Disneyland on Thursday thanks to two of our friends getting us Disney related wedding and Christmas gifts. (Thanks RC & SP!) So, we went to the Inovention Center in which he so lovingly volunteered me for their rather ridiculous game show. (Don't worry, there weren't any other volunteers so his plan back fired and I volunteered him right back.) Anyways, the game commences and I have not heard of 2 of the 3 shows, let alone seen them. All the questions are based on these shows. Hubby answered the first one right (I still don't know how) and I decided to try for the second answer. My first response was A, but then the host said, "Arrrr this B a tough question!". So I quickly go, "I'll go with B". B was the right answer.
The Point: Why is it that we can so easily trust a perfect stranger to guide us in the right direction, yet God gives us His Word which is TRUE because He is incapable of sin, making Him to be incapable of lying? His Word is there for us as the ultimate life resource. It is packed full of Truth and wisdom, yet it's easier at times to trust someone we've never met on something so trivial and unimportant, when in the grand scheme of things, if we don't trust God's Word our souls are in danger of spending eternity...ETERNITY... in the Lake of Fire. It should be easier to trust the Almighty, True God than it is to trust a stranger. Lord, help me to trust you always and in all things.
