I wasn't sure where to take this today....as I was reading through it. Then I hit these last 2 lines. It reminds me of a sermon I heard from a speaker I really like. He was talking about how smart and educated we are now, compared to the people in Old Testament times. He said he believes we are educating ourselves out of a belief in God. We search for alternate answers to the things God should be credited with. I think there's a lot of truth to that sentiment. It reminds me of the verse where it talks about having faith like a child. To me that means blind belief and faith just because you know its true.
Sometimes ignorance is bliss! The more you know....the more responsibility you have!
