I was driving along on a very warm day with my windows open & my grandson in a car seat in the back. Several times he commented on how much he was enjoying the “wind.” We stopped at a red light & he yelled, “Hey, who stopped the wind?”
Obviously he failed to discern that it wasn’t the air that was moving past us but us passing through the air. The wind didn’t stop — we did. His observation highlights a very human trait: blame someone or something else for any disturbance to our comfort thinking that supporting our coziness is the reason the world was created.
This morning we’re going to look at two men with the same name that acted completely different. One thought that God existed to serve him while the other got it right: he was created to serve the Lord.
