I don't have much today. I've been looking for full-time work. I've been converting to my new computer. (I managed to transfer my email contact list and my favorites!) I'm up to date with my readings....but I'm stuck for a blog post.
Not that I haven't had some thoughts of God today. My readings today included some of Lamentations. I also read a verse in Psalms. I wrote down Psalm 139.8: If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
I haven't been able to spend time evaluating, or investigating this verse. I just wonder about it. I think Sheol is another word for hell, or the grave. But that confuses me. That would mean that God is even there, in hell. And maybe He is. Isn't God everywhere? How can He be everywhere but not in Hell? But how can God be in hell? Isn't that place too evil, immoral, bad for God to be?
I don't know. Maybe I'll get around to doing some research to see what the experts have to say on the subject sometime. It is just a sentence that confuses me and gives me hope (for those I don't know if they gave their lives to Christ). Perhaps after death, death without Christ, just perhaps, there is another chance. You know, God is so merciful and so full of grace, that maybe....just maybe.
