Made me think of a Bible study awhile back. We had been discussing Timothy. And keep in mind the Bible study is mostly older women who don’t shy away from much. Faced with complaints about some of the things Paul wrote to Timothy I eventually asked if they were trying to follow God or have God follow them.
Unless we want to place God in our own little box it’s better to approach him with an open mind and accept even the things we find challenging in His word. Not mindlessly, but humbly.
