Bloody Mistakes

You just have to assume that Moses got something wrong if he finds God “waiting at the lodging place” to kill him. It’s curious.

We live in a universe of mistakes. It’s no small thing that we should. Of course, if I designed a universe, I wouldn’t let there be any mistakes. I’d just make everything work the way it was supposed to in the first place. I’d make a determined world. Who wouldn’t? How could we call it a design if there are mistakes?

But the possibility and process of learning is entirely dependent on misunderstanding and mistaking. Our present information is never adequate for our unfolding circumstances. Therefore I need to learn.

A step of faith is never a bed of roses. There is always uncertainty when relating to another. All the more when relating to a mysterious God.
