God’s Control. Part-One.

Little People.

We are an arrogant human race to think that we know everything and yet the reallity is we know very little. Knowledge of things make us wise, but it is how we use that knowledge that will bring blessings!

We have men in Space today, people warning of Global warming and peacekeepers, doctors trying to help people in disease, famine and war?

Yet we have others making finacial gain from off-shore funds and shares in the arms industry, others justifying relations with nations who have a bad human rights record.

But God knows everything, He knows each one of us, as individuals that he created long before even this world and universe was made. He has also determined the fate of us all, but the one thing he has given us is the oppertunity to change, by our freedom to choose!

Acts 17:26,   Deuteronomy 32:7-8,   Jeremiah 1:10.

The Good. Part-Three.

God’s Standards.

We all like to think we have done good and what is right and sometimes we can forget that God chose us because we were bad and not able to be good on any level. Many people who met Jesus thought of Him as a good man because of the healings and miracles that he was performing daily.

Another problem that plagues our thoughts is to see what we think is good works being carried out around the world and we are so easily lead to praise others, while forgetting to recognise the work of Jesus and believers leading thousands to faith and the promise of Eternal Salvation!

Luke 18:18,  John 5:41-44.

Seeds and Grass.

God Provides for Us.

The bible tells us that it is God who made the world and everything in it. We do not really know if it was created in six days or millions of years. Perhaps one day we will discover that the whole solar system and other planets, if we ever get to another star were all made at around the same time!   Psalm 104:14.

God gave to us grass for animals and cattle to eat, He also gave humans seeds, herbs and grasses, so that they could sow them and produce crops. Today there is much famine and economic failure, along with wars and displacement of people because of natural disasters.

Multi-national argriculture companies are monopolising on the supply of seeds now to impoverished parts of the world, they are genetically modifying them to be clones. This means that despite them having great survival potential, they cannot produce seeds as a natural plant would.

So the price rises and governments are blackmailed to change policies to suit Western ways of thinking.

Genesis 1:11-12,   29,   2:5,  9,   4:12,   Job 28:5,   1 Corinthians 3:7.

Immigration. Part-Two.

‘Why and Where?

There are many reasons why people leave their country of birth and go to a far away land. Persecution is probably the main reason, after that famine, natural disasters and last of all economic crises.

We tend to for get that at one time most of the countries in Europe had colonial empires, which explored the unknown world and then exploited resources, and people in to slavery.  The bible tells us about many nations ans peoples moving from place to place. Abraham and Moses were traveling great distances in their day.

Genesis 21:34,    Exodus 3:12,    Jeremiah 41:14-16,    Revelation 18:13.
