My heart sings when I meet such people. I am so grateful to God and Jesus, that Jesus decided to come down here, and that the world is far from that writer of Psalm 12. I do live in a different time, a time when most people have God within them, and know it. They pray lovely personal prayers, they have a truly honest personal relationship. But many get stuck on a sense of guilt that in their occupying of God's time, they are taking him away from the more needy.
To such people, I suggest that they look at the beauty of a butterfly, and explore its life cycle. I then suggest that no human could concoct such a creation. Hence, the mind of God must be infinitely and incomprehensibly superior to ours. And so it is conceivable to me that he can, at one and the same time, keep the stars in alignment, control gravity so planets do not crash into each other, and be within each and every person, helping at their request, giving to each their fill.
And if a person philosophically postulates, "I wonder what God wants of me other than loving him, I suggest that maybe if we look to the most perfect person to ever walk this earth, Jesus, and strive to adopt his philosophy and beliefs, maybe that might be good for starters. I also offer a qualifier that I have to search carefully for his words in the Bible, but have found another book which I find invaluable.
