It occurs to me to be grateful. Grateful for taking a breath, opening my eyes to see, knowing that I can touch a thing and understand the feeling of touch, the paths to my brain so that my mind can indeed understand the environment I am in and, finally, be grateful for small things. Each day I look at myself and wonder how I survived both war and peace. How I came to be and was loved well enough to grow to be a responsible adult.
None of this was easy for me. So many temptations to do wrong to which I have occasionally given into. Then again, there is forgiveness that heals and nurtures the mind to allow love in. None of this would be possible without faith. Faith in God, faith in His Son, Jesus. The truth exists in believing that which we cannot see. Like the wind. It is there and shows itself in its actions. Like the earth, spinning in space at an appointed distance from the sun to both warm us yet keep us from scorching to cinders on a planet devoid of life, of thought, of the ability to comprehend. Coincidence? I doubt that seriously. No, there are no coincidences in our universe unless your thought process is solely along the lines of mathematics. God does not need mathematics. He is mathematics. He knows how everything works, and always has since before any sense of time we possess. We are small and life for us is precious, short and full of travail. Yet, we are conscious of each second without going mad.
In our world we have made the decision to pursue this planets complexity and its relative nature to objects outside our planet and its environs. Do we have any business doing so if we also, and at the same instant, cannot control our anger or our greed? It bears consideration just as giving the keys to a Ferrari to a three year old bears consideration. With just a little extra thought at consequences of actions one would not allow a three year old to drive such a machine. It would be considered ludicrous. Then again, we did the work to understand atomic energy without understanding consequence, did we not?
We were not originally designed to pursue science but none of us had the presence of mind to understand consequence of thought followed by action. We took it all in stride and painted ourselves into a corner while the very science we attained put us into that corner. It is an uncomfortable place to reside. Once again, those of us who understand know that it will take God to pry us out from the corner we are in. It is overwhelmingly this corner that is affecting us now. That corner is named, “The end times.” A three word statement describing that corner. God was already aware of us arriving here and has planned for our extrication. It won’t be pretty.
