The Glory Of God - Part I
It is very important to understand our place in this world and the meaning of the life we lead. In order to answer life's difficult questions we will need to have answers to a few key questions, for which we will seek to discover the answers in the upcoming posts. We will be questioning many findings and uncover the truths that we often overlook. I assure you, this is going to be so much insightful and fun, helping us see the world with a right perspective.
The few key questions are as follows
1. Does God exist ?
2. If he exists, Who is that God ?
3. What really is our purpose ?
Okay lets address the first question.
For each of these questions we are going to view all angles of possible truth, with careful thought accompanied by scientific evidence.
Lets break it down to smaller chunks and derive outcome of each of the modules.
The origin of mankind and everything in this world. Is it the work of God ? or is it evolution like few believe it to be ?
Great ae the works of the Lord; they are pondered by all who delight in them.Psalm 111:2
Even though I believe that the world and everything in it belongs to the lord and God created the heavens and the earth, we need to have proof. So let us address one by one.
Flowers ?
Ok lets take the flowers for example. Ok the contention is, is it evolution, man made, or created by superhuman intelligence who is God?
If the flowers that we see, were to be the outcome of evolution, which basically means, cells divide and adopt and like machine learning, become something that is suitable and adaptable to itself. If that were the case, then how do you think a flower should look like ? The reader can pause and minute to really ponder.
Scientists have identified 400,000 types of flowering plans.
We all know that each of these flowers are unique, beautiful, colorful, scented/non scented. Even after seeing all these compelling qualities in flowers, there are many of us who think this is still the outcome of evolution. Be what may, Lets pick the quality of flower to look beautiful.
Have you seen a flower which looks beautiful ? Why should it be beautiful ? what is the rhyme or reason for a flower to even look beautiful if this is the work of evolution ?. Let me get you some pictures of flowers. Why that pattern ? if it was random, it could be any pattern. Some of which will look horrible.
This definitely tells us one thing, There is a super natural and super human intelligence at work. What is the reason for the presence of flowering plants, those which does not provide fruits ?. What contribution does that provide to the biology of the world. The earth could do without them, they are not a necessity but it still exists. So yet again, if you think this is about evolution or random or survival, it is disproved.
We see one quality of God, here, God loves us that he wanted us to enjoy and cherish his creation. He did this all for us to have a beautiful place to live in. If you have questions on this, Please read the book of Genesis from the bible.
Next, we will try to understand the Sun and the Moon. Is it a co Incidence ? a total catastrophic event or was this created by God ?
Luke 12:27 NIV
[27] “Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Psalm 19:1
Broken beyond repair.
Is there anything broken beyond repair ?. On an initial thought, it does look like there is. A glass vase for example, a relationship gone wrong etc...
What if I say there is nothing which can be termed as broken beyond repair ?. From my own life and experience, have I come to know of this profound truth which we often overlook.
Let's understand. In the hands of Jesus, nothing is irreparable. Take me for example. There were numerous situations and trials in my life which brought me down to nothingness. I lost my self confidence/ self worth, due to prolonged suffering i was brought down to a level where i lost my basic abilities. I thought this was the end, that there was no hope or recovery.
I was in a severe case of depression with no way out of it. Was researching for antidepressants and even seeing medical intervention for a cure.
I imagined myself as a perfect crystal vase, dropped down and shattered to bits. I cried and poured out myself to Jesus, said I could no longer bear this. And he miraculously and marvelously rescued me from my irreversible state of depression. Healed me, gave me confidence, which I never thought I will ever have. I got back the clarity of thought. All my broken talents and my senses were revived miraculously.
If you are going through a tough situation, you might be wondering right now, as to how many peoples lives were destroyed due to depressio and hopless situations. People have taken their very lives and that some conditions are not mendable let alone surving and recovering from a harrowing situation.
What was different in my case is JESUS. Nothing in this world can solve your problems. Only he can. Just speak to him and listen to his voice. Why ? Because he loves you even more than you love yourselves and he is more powerful than you can ever imagine.
Do you think a dry bone can ever come back to life ? This is irreparable. But not in the eyes of Jesus
The same Jesus who showers his love on me and you, will comfort you and mend you back to life.
Ezekiel 37:4-14 NIV
[4] Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! [5] This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life. [6] I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’ ” [7] So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. [8] I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them. [9] Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live.’ ” [10] So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet—a vast army. [11] Then he said to me: “Son of man, these bones are the people of Israel. They say, ‘Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.’ [12] Therefore prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: My people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel. [13] Then you, my people, will know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves and bring you up from them. [14] I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken, and I have done it, declares the Lord.’ ”
