The Pattern Of God's Creation. Be leaders of His Way.


To me there is no reason to believe there is no creator.  There are too many amazing things in this world to not believe.  Creation mezmorizes me,  there are to many signs here that seems complicated to just blow it off as a bang theory.  I saw two things lastnight at work that really caught my attention.  As I was moving a box in the aisle I saw a little beetle.  I watched it scamper to a safe hiding place.  It was funny to watch it move.  I looked at its design,  it looked like it could barely make it to its hiding place from me.  But it did, slowly.  I really wondered what its purpose in the circle of life was.  It didn't seem to me it was an important role to me, but that little bug serves some type of purpose.  As do all animals, for some odd reason God made that beetle for a reason to uphold our pattern in life.

About an hour later I looked up to see and hear a flock of Canadien geese fly above me.  In their normal V shaped pattern.  The flock had a leader guiding the pack some where.  But they had a purpose and a mission that God was leading them too.  About ten minutes later another flock were flying in the same direction.  It amazes me to see some thing like that have a natural instinct to know where they are headed.  A Godly instinct.
Many in this world want a belief in something. They just feel if there was a God in this world, they feel he would not allow bad things to happen. Not true!  Things will happen both good and bad.  Jesus told his disciples that they will face great trials and tribulations in life.  They will be hated because they bore his name.  They did face many horrible things in life.  They weren't wealthy with money, they were beaten and imprisoned for what they preached.  They faced death all day long. 

Many feel they can't believe in something that is unseen, or have faith in a being that never talks or gives them any reason to believe. So they turn to other religions or possessions that give them a temporary hiding place.  We as Christians should tell them of our sufferings in this life.  We should tell them of how we are protected from death in the next world.  We are considered to be slaughtered every day.  Yet, we have a hope in Jesus everyday we live. 

If you feel someone is headed in the wrong direction, don't press them with a bunch of scriptures, but first let them see your life and how you believe and how you don't let things get you down in this life.  Be an example with doing great things for them, then they will know who you belong to.  Show them the compassion that only Christ could show, be an example of him and then they will want to be like you.  Living peacefully in a risen and loving Savior.  We have all turned many unbelievers away by shoving our judgemental views down their throat.  We condemn them to Hell for what they do.  Yet, we deserve the same punishment.  Be loving and not condemning.  Christ was not a person who judged a person, he gave them what they asked for and then told them to go and sin no more.  We are all odd balls in this world.  Baptized or not we are all the same, we just have different stories and situations that have taken us in different directions.  The geese would not know where they were going if they didn't have a leader to take them to their intended direction.  Same with us who are in Christ, we are to be leaders of the flock and give direction to those that are lost.  Be leaders in Christ with love , and not be a bunch of judgemental rats.  Understand others stories and tell them about how we have been in the pits of life and how Christ brought us out and saved from this world.
