It’s so funny to me to watch people live like they don’t need God –
It’s like a car refusing its engine, a house refusing its foundation, a big old baked potato without salt and a newborn baby who won’t have anything to do with milk.
It’s so funny to me to hear people rejecting Intelligent Design –
As if we could somehow stuff our food through our ears, and drink through our noses and use our eyes to walk the hallways, you know? When we hold the canvas, we call it a masterpiece. When HE holds our intricate cardiac systems in place–tirelessly assigning a well-ordered rhythmic tempo–supplying oxygen and nourishment to all the cells in our bodies (year-in; year-out) we call it, chance. Deep sigh!
It’s so funny to me to hear people denying the existence of God –
It’s like a Corolla denying the existence of Toyota. It’s like Sprite denying the existence of Coca-Cola. It’s like the New England Patriots denying the existence of the NFL. And like the 4,000 diapers you changed and the teen who now denies your own existence.
Yeah! Totally absurd. Our denying could never change that GOD (is)–any more than a child can diminish his mother’s existence no matter how much he may choose to exhaust himself in thousands of theories that disprove he once lived in a womb and born of a woman.
As the naval architect in charge of the plans for the ocean liner RMS Titanic, Thomas Andrews, Jr. found out–we will all soon find out, that this ship has hit an iceberg. And in only a short while, it is bound for the ocean’s floor. All the mathematical intelligence applied tirelessly to refute useless possibilities proved futile for Andrews–a “brilliant” architect who perished in the Atlantic along with more than fifteen hundred others on April 14th, 1912. He realized as all of us will (if we’re even that fortunate) that he only had one hour to reconcile the sum of his life. We are not masters of anything. We are created beings made in the image and likeness of a God who commands, and the sea obeys. Bow to HIM and you will stand up to anything!
Andrews’ body was never recovered. He was 39yrs old. This ship you should note–had been deemed unsinkable (“not even God could sink it” –they had boasted before the voyage) they were wrong! Engineering arrogance. Academic haughtiness. Financial pride. Youthful vanity.
This is why so many died. Not enough lifeboats because they really did believe the ship was unsinkable. Remember your creator, in the days of your youth. In your smallness–acknowledge HIM. He desires to direct your path.
If you’re going to deny anyone—deny yourself! (Matthew 16:24-25)
“A man can no more diminish God’s glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word ‘darkness‘ on the walls of his cell.” C.S. Lewis – The Problem of Pain
For HIS glory!
Journey well.
