I looked at the beauty of the full moon that shown down on me last night. It’s mysterious planet-like look and it’s illuminating light is like a lamp turned on by God every night when it gets dark for me to view if I should want or need it. It’s light reaches down to show me how incredibly complex the vast expanse of the moon and sky are before me. The moon is so far away and it stays there night after night, year after year. Amazing. What human hand could ever pull something like that off?
And how many millions of people are in and have been in this world? And how many will come after you and me? Each person alone is a unique creation, like a snowflake, where no two are ever alike. Totally amazing. The circuitry of each and every cell and how it is made within each person’s body holding unique DNA, RNA, mitochondria, chromosomes, Golgi apparatus, and the like ‘knowing’ their job and doing it day in and day out consistently over our lifetimes.
I love the special order and knowledge that this speaks of and that I see from all of this. The stability and the knowing that God is in control of everything.
Of course there is unstableness too. Relationships, earthquakes, wars, and the like. Doesn’t it look like sometimes that the whole earth is groaning and turbulent? That the world is full of chaos also?
This world was orchestrated by and for God. We can see life’s chaos but also it’s order, complexity, and beauty. Psalm 19:1-6 states, ‘The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun. Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.’
God and his word bring hope to any darkness, in our lives and in our world. His word provides harmony and his truth and peace for all in the world. In fact the more you read it, the more you start to understand how little you really know. Each detail of this book has a reason for being there. It is an exhaustive book, meaning you can study it deeply and still learn more each and every time you read it. Even going over the same chapter or verses that will happen. There is so much to glean and new insights come, enriching your life as nothing ever has before. It is a supernatural book, beyond science and the law of nature. Hebrews 4:12 states, ‘For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow; and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.’
He first loved me. Shown by the cross. He gave me a gift. And he gives freely to all who come and seek him with all their heart. And what a gift! It is such a mystery and a new knowing of things from God I never knew before! He drew me over time. Now I desire to live for him. Thank you God that you chose me, a sinner. Thank you that I have not been the same since receiving this free gift of God’s grace, through faith. Thank you God, for letting me get to know you and be in relationship with you! AND though I have not worldly riches, a high station in life, or the best of everything in this world; I would not trade what Jesus Christ has given me for anything. For it is mine and nothing can compare with it! Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life! And absolutely nothing compares with Him!
If we desire power, significance, or achievement these too are only what we think we really need. God does not want us to care about these types of things. That focus again is about self. We are too self-centered this day and age. Also Satan tries to use our weaknesses, things we care about too much – more than God even, getting us to focus on ourselves so as to get our eyes off of Christ so you do not get to know Jesus, or his word. Satan doesn’t want you to read the bible or get to know the only way to our only Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who is the narrow road and the only way to become born again! The ‘pearl of great price’ is an eternal gift, one given and of no charge to you. Nothing in this world is worth more. For this world and all that it has to offer is only temporary. After our deaths nothing material is taken with us. Let us think more on these things and start reading the bible.
For there is more to this world than what you can see. Much more. For instance there are angels, principalities, Satan, heaven, hades, the effect prayer has from a believer for others, sin, what Jesus wants us to think and to know through his word as soon as possible and before we die, and Jesus Christ. Have you read the bible? We each have a spirit. When it is our turn to leave this world, that is what we are without our bodies, spirit. After we die we either go to be with the Lord right away or there is hell. And Jesus desires we get to know him long before we die and go on into eternity. He desires you to do this right away in fact. It is never too soon. To read the bible (I suggest the KJV), come to know Jesus Christ and how much he loves you and how you can become born again by his grace, through faith. This is all important that you know this. He desires a relationship with you!
He sees and knows everything that has happened with everyone and at what time each thing occurred; and that includes all people from the past, present, and who will be in the future. Quite a thought isn’t it?! He is omnipotent (all-powerful), omniscient (all-knowing), and omnipresent (always present); so we will not be able to hide :). Psalm 139 starts out in verses 1-4, ‘O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. Thou compasseth my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.’
Isaiah 46:10 states, ‘Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure.’
I pray you would find a real bible and a bible-believing church; one where you hear Jesus is alive, well, and active now in this world and for you. God’s grace, love, and faithfulness be with you!
Whether you are a Jew or a Gentile, Jesus is coming back one day!
