Why do we want to explain GOD? Is this our desire to control? I mean, who wants to serve an explainable GOD? GOD should be beyond anything I could think or imagine. GOD is GOD! That is the only explanation needed… What are your thoughts on this?

Explain GOD?

Why is it so hard to ask for help?
In my job, as technical support, it amazes me how many times “Person B” will call in support for “Person A”. I understand this when it is a phone issue. But Susie will call to tell me Sally cannot print. (I know you Mac users never have problems like this, but follow the thought.) My question is what keeps Sally from calling me directly. When I will most likely need to talk to Sally to resolve the issue anyway?
I see this in the lives of people also- a reluctance to admit a need for help. Do we really think we have the world convinced that we “have it all together?” And is “having it all together” really the goal?
I think of Samuel listening to a voice he did not even know… or Abraham going to a land he hand never seem… or fishermen dropping their nets and following Jesus. These men did not “have it all together” and yet they anointed kings, fathered a nation, and started “The Church.”
Maybe God would prefer us to be less “put together” and more moldable. Any dad knows the difference between old and new play-dough. The old is hard and rigid. The new is soft and moldable. I believe that is how God wants to find us.
So back to the question, why is it so hard to ask for help? I know I need help from God, my wife, my kids, my friends and family. So what holds us back from asking God and each other for help?
