John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, And the Word was with God, And the Word was God.
So many people in the world and so many different views of life overall. With different views come different lifestyles. And, different beliefs. Sometimes different views can be frustrating. For an example, I love God and recognize Him as the one true God.
I know He is the one true Sovereign being, the one true Living God. The Creator of all things. It seems so simple for me, because my belief is so strong. I trust in Him, I run to Him for counsel, guidance, for communication. I love His Word, because it comes from His heart and is meant for my heart. For me, there is no other way -He is my comfort and my world is secure knowing Him and loving Him. He is my everything.
On the other side of the coin is the “non-believers” who simply think the world came from a “Big Bang” and their theory is based on “Scientific” research. Well, again for me, God is the Master Scientist-He created all things. The non-believers on the other hand, see God as a “Myth” and the Word, His very Word-as nothing more than a fable put together purely for entertainment value.
This is what I referred to in my first paragraph – “it can be frustrating” when people’s views are the antithesis of your own beliefs. Especially when it comes to GOD. I want to scream sometimes, when I hear individuals say, ‘boy I was so lucky.” Luck? Are you kidding me luck? There is no Luck, there is GOD who is behind all things at all times. The Lord is our safe haven, our shelter, our best friend, our “go to person” for all of your activities of everyday life.
When a baby came back from being pronounced dead for nine full minutes – was that luck?
When a young man who was diagnosed “brain dead” and in an inreversible coma woke up
and had full brain capacity- was that luck?
When a woman looking for her son she gave up for adoption 25 years earlier showed up at her place of employment working alongside of her- was that luck?
When we were born and were given life – was that luck?
The reason is simple and to the point – GOD.
Thank you my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Thank you for all that you are, and all that you have done. I recognize we must respect one another and keep peace. Thank you for providing the wisdom during the course of my day to overcome situations that are challenging. Thank you for providing your voice as the barometer of morality. Thank you for the providing me the “platform through writing” to exalt your Powerful Name, and to give you all the glory and honor. Thank you for providing me with the necessary tools to promote your Word, by example-and shining the Light of Jesus Christ’s love to others.
Although there are different views and lifestyles, and we are all different in appearance and backgrounds. One thing is abundantly clear – we all have ONE FATHER. One day, the world will recognize that, and every knee will bow and every lip shall proclaim you as Our Lord and Savior.
Yes one day everyone will realize you are Our Christ, our Lord, Our God, Our Savior. But, how fortunate for those of us who recognize this truth right now. Amen.
John 1-5 KJV
3 All things were made by him;
And without him was not any thing made
That was made.
4 In him was life;
And the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness;
and the darkness comprehended it not.
John 9-12 KJV
9 That was the true Light,
Which lighteth every man
that cometh into the world.
10 He was in the world,
And the world was made by him,
And the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own,
And his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him,
To them gave he power
To become the sons of God,
Even to them that believe on his name
John 14 KJV
14 And the Word was made flesh,
And dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory,
The glory as of the only begotten of the Father,)
Full of grace and truth
