My first thoughts were about cars. I know it sounds weird but yes it was about cars and God. I was thinking about the past or the beginning of the world. It started with God putting together the universe and piecing all the parts of the world into place.
He created two human beings and put them together as man and woman. They were in paradise or what we know to be what heaven will be like. They were perfect with no pain and definitely no reason to ever be sad. They had it all until the snake (Satan), the apple and the fall.
It was then that the perfect became imperfect. They now had to work the land and the woman now had to bare labor pains during birth. Pain became a new thing for these two. Life was uncomfortable for them and also for the future of all mankind.
This is where I thought about cars. When you read about the past and see how people have evolved over the years life has gone from uncomfortable to more comfortable. The world and it's people continue to come up with new things to make life easier. The invention of cell phones, DVDs in cars and many other new things to make life a lot easier for us all. Why is it that we evolve so much? The answer is God. He's opened our minds to create just like him.
There are areas of research that have allowed people to live longer. There is no cure for cancer, Parkinsons, muscular dystrophy and many others. I'm sure there will be a day when we finally conquer such diseases. But until then God has our minds closed to such things. He has the answers to all of the worlds mysteries. If these researchers would pray more maybe God would open their eyes to a cure for such diseases.
Many researchers take the credit for all the discoveries they have found to cure certain deadly diseases. If they would instead give God the glory maybe he would open their minds to new cures.
Our life will never be as comfortable here as it will be in heaven. But as life rolls along and our minds evolve toward greater things God will do his best to make us comfortable. But not comfortable enough that we may totally forget him. Suffering in Christ is a painful but good thing for us.
The more we settle into our good and sweet life we often forget our merciful creator. As soon things go completely downhill he is usually our last resort for help.
The theory of comfortable versus uncomfortable allows us to see how great God has been to us. If God were to turn away from us completely we would all just stop living. He holds the ability to make us do what we're able to do. Walk, think, breath and keeps our hearts beating every day. Without a living creator we don't exist. With a creator we do exist and for a greater purpose.
Think about all the things God has done to allow us to be comfortable in this life. Then think about the future and the great things he has in store then. We serve a great and wonderful God. Take time to praise him and give him the glory. Oh, the thing about cars. I like them better than riding a horse. Another comfort from God.
This is why I believe!
