Those who do not know...

"I am the most ignorant of men; I do not have a man's understanding. I have not learned wisdom, nor have I knowledge of the Holy One. Who has gone up to heaven and come down? Who has gathered up the wind in the hollow of his hands? Who has wrapped up the waters in his cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and the name of his son? Tell me if you know!" -Proverbs 30:2-4

There is a Third Day song titled "Cry Out to Jesus." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOb8ihacSM4 Here is the video for those who want to see it) It talks of those who see no hope; however, little do they know all they have to do is cry out to Jesus. I think about this song and then I think about this Proverb. A part of scripture written LONG before Christ's birth, life, death and RESURRECTION (He his alive in case you doubt). Written about a man that long before the world had ever seen the Son of God was CRYING OUT to know of this man. He was admitting his ignorance and begging for someone to tell him about Chirst. Am I the only one that finds it interesting that a man hundreds of years before Chirst will cry out however we feel the need to fix everything ourselves? We serve a Savior that loves us so much He gave up is only son so we could be with Him one day and yet we feel the need to do everything ourselves. Maybe this man in Proverbs wasn't as ignorant as he thought and if he is this ignorant, yet still knew to cry out for the Son of Man, where do the people of today who have full knowledge and don't cry out rank? I also ask this, if the lost cried out then, what makes us so sure they aren't crying out now. So often we hear people say they are just looking for something. Why is it we have what they are looking for yet so many times refuse to give it to them? Also, if they are looking for something, why is it not obvious to them we have found it? We serve an all consuming Savior, let's make sure we always stay all consumed so that others will find the same answers we have.
