Knowledge & Acceptance
I’ve been doing these online prayer devotionals for a few days now and quite enjoy them. Today’s was based on Matthew 12:38-42. At first I didn’t get the last part about Jonah and the Queen of the south, so I did a bit of digging and explored through a variety of translations and commentaries. Basically, I think Jesus’ point was that in both cases the people needed very little evidence before they repented. That the less ‘taught’/knowledgeable were far more accepting of the Truth. This reminded my of a song that’s been playing lots on the radio lately …
“heaven” – live
You don’t need no friends get back your faith again
you have the power to believe
another dissident take back your evidence
it has no power to deceive
I’ll believe it when I see it, for myself
I don’t need no one to tell me about heaven
I look at my daughter, and I believe.
I don’t need no proof when it comes to God and truth
I can see the sunset and I perceive
I sit with them all night everything they say is right
but in the morning they were wrong
I’ll be right by your side come hell or water high
down any road you choose to roam
darling, I believe, Oh Lord
sometimes it’s hard to breathe, Lord
at the bottom of the sea
