It is natural for us to desire to reach…but only because of the desire to grasp. it is therefore a felt need to grasp once we reach, even if what we grasp is not worth holding. Hands full of anything are better to us than empty hands.
As a result we are driven to have answers (grasp), especially about God. We don’t like to have questions (reach). We only ask questions to have answers. And it is ever more maddening when our questions only lead us to harder questions.
It appears that God has built life so that true grasp is less attainable but reach is critical.
And there is another reason to reach for God that is better than grasp…
touch.
What are you reaching for today?
