Don’t worry Ruthie – “your Father knows what things ye have need of, before ye ask Him.”

Don’t worry Ruthie – "“your Father knows what things ye have need of, before ye ask Him.” – Matthew 6:8

Now that’s faith!

Watch out for the trees and mountains heading for the ocean.

Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. Romans 8:2

Been there…..

Corrie ten Boom used to tell the story of a child who wanted to pray but didn’t know how. An adult overheard the child reciting the alphabet and asked what that was about. “They have said I must pray, but I’ve never prayed before. And now I’ve said, ‘Lord, I will give you the whole alphabet. Will you make a good prayer of it?’” https://youtu.be/4xAJA1hNcUI

Hawkeye Pierce mentioned in one of the MASH shows that the only book he brought with him to Korea was a dictionary. He said all other books are in it.

Predestination? So, Ruthie’s a Calvinist.

(And has anybody else noticed that Calvin is not very Calvinist, nor is Hobbes Hobbesian?)

Don’t worry Ruthie – it’s a silly delusion brainwashed from parents to children to make them easier to control. If you’re smart, you’ll figure it out for what it is just like you did with Santa and the Easter Bunny. If you don’t – well, you’ll join the mass horde of stupid people that can’t be responsible for their own actions.

BUNNY!

i once read a Hassidic story along the same lines…
