The Vulnerable God

Vulnerable …  It may appear somewhat scandalous to have such a word as vulnerable  be used to describe the One who is the Creator of all that exists and Who sustains it all. I agree that it is a bit unsettling, however, the more we look at the character of God throughout scriptures and in our lives, the more we get to understand that with God , anything that is perceived as bad, turns Good and this applies to the human concept of vulnerability . The Definition According to Google, the Oxford English definition of the word 'Vulnerable' are as below: As an adjective - exposed to the possibility of being attacked or harmed , either physically or emotionally.

Apologies: I am truly sorry for the hiatus 🙏. Compliments of the season! 😁😁  Don't forget that Jesus is the Reason for the Season.

"Trust God", "Trust His Timing", "It is well" etc. When we have issues and we pray expecting prompt responses/answers, what's our response when we don't see or hear them? While trying to figure out our next line of action, we are met with these same words "Trust God". When the world is crumbling around you and you run to the nearest house of God weeping asking the man of God to intercede for you. Rounds of prayers, fasting, offerings etc. follow and then you are met with the same words "Trust God". The doubts begin to crawl...
