God is good and smart...

reading the divine conspiracy by dallas willard and yesterday he said that a lot of times we think that God is good but we dont think he understands much about what is going n in the real world. and on sunday jeremy was telling me that his plan to get rid of debt was to be generous and givemore money away because solomon says cast your bread on the water and in many days it will return... and i think that it goes against everything i know about finances to give your money away to insure that you are financially stable. but thats what jesus tells us to do on the sermon on the mount to live generously and graciously and i think God is good but this standard is high and these actions are *impossible* but in all reality jesus is smart also. he knows how to change the molecular structure of water into wine... heal tissue by touching it... open eyes that have forever been blind... and there are days when im not sure he can handle my little problems. so i ask for wonder and awe and i am given the oppertunity to live generously and not know how i will take care of things on the other side? i guess this is where i find out if i truely believe that kingdom living is the best possible way to live, and if i trust that jesus is not only good but smart.
