Humans: Funny Little Creatures

So, the title to this piece may seem a bit bizarre, but i thought it way too appropriate!
I can't take the credit for such a witty remark, however, for it was my Human Biology Professor who made this statement at our first class meeting this past week.

All I could think while he was going on in detail about us "funny little creatures" was how God probablly thinks something very similar  as he looks down on us. He created us in every single way; outside in and inside out. He knows every word we are going to speak, every action we're going to take, and every decision we will make. And then I thought..."Man! We gotta' be God's live entertainment!"

The way I see it, if we listened to every little whisper from God and every push he gave us there would be no entertainment at all for Him! (We would also live in a perfect world which would be pretty nice, but of course that's not the case.) Our God is so wonderous because he could potentially work us like little puppets, but because he grants us free will this is not the case.

I can only imagine the trillion and one times throughout my 21 years on this earth that God has looked down and chuckled saying "Oh Kelsi...don't you get it!? I've got it all figured out already! Just follow me, child!"
Of course, I'm waaaaaaaay too stubborn to hear him, most of the time, but he still continues to guide me along as I keep my faith in Him. In this way, I am a human: a funny little creature who walks around trying to figure life's meaning out and plan, plan, plan, but I get absolutely nowhere! When we think we've got it all under control, we don't! When we think we've figured it out, we have no idea! When we think things couldn't get any worse, they could! When we think we know it all, we haven't got a clue!


So what's so cool about the human beings that we are? 

We are creations of God; made by and through His hand and even though we have absolutely NO control over anything, everything is still fully under control because we are His. Funny and silly as we are, we've got it all if we've got the man upstairs!

This entry is pretty mcuh just straight babbling of mine, but just some food for thought that I have come across latley through out my walk.
