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 with so many different views of life overall…and wiith different views come different lifestyles and, different beliefs. Sometimes different views can be frustrating.
****
I love God and recognize Him as the one true God.
****
He is the one true Sovereign being, the one true Living God. The Creator of all things. It seems so simple to those whose belief is so strong. Trust in Him, run to Him for counsel, guidance, and communication. We love His Word, because it comes from His heart and is meant for our hearts. For those with faith there is no other way -He is our comfort and our 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 believe the world started with a “Big Bang” and their theory is based on “Scientific” research. Well, again, for those with faith… God is the Master Scientist-He created all things. The non-believers on the other hand, see God as a “Myth” and His very Word-as nothing more than a fable put together purely for entertainment value.
****
This is what I referred to in the first paragraph – “it can be frustrating” when people’s views are the antithesis of your own beliefs. Especially when it comes to GOD.
****
Do you want to scream sometimes, when hearing individuals say, “boy I was so lucky.” Luck? Are you kidding— 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…He is the reason for all things and He works His will for our purposes. This is not called luck…it is called GOD and His mighty hands of grace.
****
Thanks my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Thank You for all that Y0u are, and all that You have done. We recognize we must respect one another and keep peace.
****
Thanks for providing wisdom during the course of the day to overcome situations that are challenging. Thanks
for providing Your voice as the barometer of morality. Thank You for providing the “platform through writing” to exalt Your Powerful Name and to give You all the glory and honor.
****
Thanks for providing Your children with 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’re 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
All things were made by him; And without him was not any thing made
That was made. In him was life; And the life was the light of men.
And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
******
John 9-12 KJV
That was the true Light, Which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, And the world was made by him, And the world knew him not. He came unto his own, And his own received him not. 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
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.

A WOW! Sharing on Facebook. I agree with your statements about luck… Sadly, even some Christians ‘knock on wood’ when wanting something.
Yes, I hear “knock on wood” from so many! Thanks Pam…for your encouragement and for being a true sister in the LORD!
