The Squeeze

Every once in a while God places people in very, very tight places in order for people to be squeezed into looking god ward. Even if people to not speak to God, they are still looking and knowing what is going on.

Everyone has something that can be squeezed until they must look up, and usually the first question asked is "why?" Usually, the full question is "why me?" However, soon after the "why me" lies "why not someone else?" We seem to think that God's squeeze is something that He arbitrarily and capriciously places on people. However, God is not made in the image of marred man. His motives for the squeeze are pure and righteous.

This squeeze eventually has two very different endings, yielding or destruction. Those who are under the squeeze as it were are insisting on a third option, an option where God doesn't get to choice the outcome. However, we simply don't get it. No man can frustrate God's pure will, and He will frustrate everyone who thinks that He's out played God.

Certainly, no man ever says out loud that He is smarter than God, but it is implied every time someone sets out in clear violation of moral will. That man says in his heart either that "there is no God" or "there is no God who cares" or "there is no God who will stop me." All three thoughts are wrong. And any man holding them will discover his futility in spurning God's way.

So for those under the squeeze, realize your dependency and embrace it. To do otherwise will be frustration and eventually destruction.
