今日の太陽は特別でした。
これまでの夕焼けは太陽の放つ光が雲に照らされてあかね色に染まったのです。
しかし今日の夕日は日輪自体が絶妙な湿度と雲の作用で赤く染まりました。
ここのポイントからは200回以上夕日を眺めていますが、このようなものは初めての経験です。
創造主のなさる事は特に私たちの思いや想像を超えます。
これまでの私どもの経験則や前例の枠に当てはまらないことがあります。
「こういう症状の時はこちらの薬ねー
こういった家庭環境出身の子はこういう対処の仕方ねー
この国民はこういった考え方をするのよねー
キリスト教って結局、数ある宗教の1つよねー
大統領選でこちらの候補者が勝ったら、社会はこういう風になるわよねー
---------////////」
もちろん時代や社会の趨勢や長年から培われた経験則が大まかの結果を推論することが出来るでしょう。
しかし神に関する限り神のなさることを人間の浅はかな論理や経験で型枠の中に押し込めることは愚かな事です。
ですから私たちは他人の評価やこれまでの前例にとらわれることなく神に新たなことを期待するのです。
"「地を造った主、それを形造って堅く立てた主、その名が主である方が言われる。
『わたしを呼べ。そうすれば、わたしはあなたに答え、あなたが知らない理解を超えた大いなることを、あなたに告げよう。』"
エレミヤ書 33章2~3節
Today's sun was special.
Previous sunsets had been tinted red by the sun's rays, illuminated by the clouds.
Today's sunset, however, the sun's ring itself was reddish due to the perfect humidity and cloud action.
I've watched the sunset more than 200 times from this point and I've never seen anything like this before.
Sometimes the things the Creator does are beyond our thoughts and imagination.
Sometimes they don't fit our rules of thumb or precedent.
"Here's a pill for these symptoms!
Kids from this kind of family background don't have to deal with things like this.
This is the way these nation’s people think!
Christianity is one of many religions, after all!
This is what society will look like if that candidate wins the presidential election!

Of course, it is possible to deduce rough results based on the trends of the times, the trends of society, and the rules of thumb we have developed over the years.
However, as far as God is concerned, it is foolish to confine God's actions to a framework based on shallow human logic and experience.
Therefore, we can expect God to do something new without the judgment of others or the precedents of the past.
“This is what the LORD says, he who made the earth, the LORD who formed it and established it—the LORD is his name: ‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’
Jer.33:2-3
