What matters most

Does knowing God matter? Recently, a friend confided in me that he hasn’t spent much time praying or trying to understand God better over the last few years.

“To be honest,” he said, “I’m not sure God matters.”

We all have to confront the question of whether God matters, and whether it’s “worth it” to spend time on things of a spiritual nature. The constant distractions, the pace of our day-to-day lives, and a general lack of interest in spirituality can make God seem irrelevant. But consider this. What if every challenge boiled down to a misunderstanding of God? What if our entire ability to move forward, to find healing, and to help the world hinged on having a more correct view of the Divine?
