Did you know that Sigmund Freud
and C.S. Lewis agreed upon
something even though Freud was
an atheist and Lewis with a
Christian. They both agreed that
the most important question in
life is the question of God.
One of my favorite pastimes is
sailing, now if a sailor intends
to get to his destination he
soon finds that he has to deal
with forces of nature that are
totally out of his control, he
may feel them but he never sees
them. The wind for example- or
the lack of wind, the level of
water, and the changing levels
of water. It involves tides and
currents always moving but none
of which is in your control.
When we talk about life we don't
necessarily talk much about
things out of our control but
there's a lot about life that is
out of our control. We didn't
determine when we would be born,
we didn't determine the family
we would be born into, we didn't
determine our gender, our
genetics or our appearances. All
of those were out of our control
and as we go through this
journey of life there are major
things out of our control yet we
have to make decisions about
what we're gonna do and who
we're becoming.
Is there a friend or a captain
you can trust with a guidance
for you in making those
decisions? Yes, even with a hope
that there's a safe harbor after
this life is all over. The most
important question in life is
the question of God.
