PLAYING GOD?


Isn't it interesting to be God just for once?-- whatever your image of God is. Being God means being able to control everything. It means having the freedom from the boundaries of space and time. Yes it is interesting, but it can be interestingly dangerous as well. 

Humans have such inclination, whether we are conscious about it or not. We all want to become the gods of our own lives sometimes. We aim to do much in a lesser time, so we tend to overdo a lot of things. Life then,  becomes a race instead of a stroll, which we can slow down and marvel at what life offers us. We want to become "all people" to accomplish much. 

Life is like a drama on a stage. Everyone has his own role to play. The show might mess up if we keep on trying to act on the roles of others-- especially if that role is God's. It is wise to learn our finite parts since we can only do what we can do. The rest is up to God's omnipotence to allow others work on what is not yours to play. 

Most of all, we have to learn to step back to allow God to step in, so that He can do His stuff. Besides, it will please Him if we say,  "...not as I will, but as You will." [Matthew 26:39]
