There Is A God


The stars in the heavens could not be any more lucid in their proclamation, "there is a God".
The inexhaustible variety of animals with all their intricacies, exclaim "there is a God".
The lush vegetation and its countless medicinal remedies, vibrant colors, and minute details, cry out "there is a God".
The location of this small planet and the privileges it has inherited from that location,though subtle, are whispering "there is a God".
The beauty of newborn life and the frailty of their little bodies, growing with the capacity to think logically, articulate language, and become creative by nature, all attributes given by a Creator God. It all points to the clarion call resounding, "there is a God".

Oh, but to know Him! I speak the sentiments of the Apostle Paul who would've seemed to know Him quite well and yet said the same.

(Phillipians 3:10) "That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death..."

You see, though all of creation knows Him, He gave man the privilege of being able to fellowship with Him. Creation shares a relationship with Him as the pen does to the paper, but mankind alone was given a soul, and that soul longs to be reunited with its Maker. Our relationship is that of clay to potter, it is intimate, He has his hands on us, molding us, shaping us. Because of this relationship with all things, the entire earth travails awaiting His return, yet none will be affected more than mankind, either with joy or shame we all shall behold Him one day with the knowledge that He alone is God.

Yes, there is a God! I join my voice with the myriad of infallible proofs in telling you this. But, may I take it a step further? The world, for the most part, is not up at arms about the statement "there is a God". No, it's a broad statement, with little or no waves made to rock any boats. Oh, but what do we do with this Jesus?

Yes, I went there. Why? Because He gave us the ability to communicate this for this very reason! Ladies and gentlemen, Jesus is God! There, I said it, now come the mockers and the persecution. Why? Because, people have no need to fight against the broad, thinly spread, blanket religion of the world that simply claims that somewhere out there a God is watching over us. This leaves a lot of grey areas with little or no commitment required, where mankind is unsure of who they are accountable to. That is safety for the carnal mind. But, when we know who He is, then we know who we are held accountable to, and for what reasons. Suddenly, these things called "sin" have more bearing on the conscious and the spiritual mind. This should be safety for the spiritual mind, if it is not found in wanting that is.
Today, use your God given capacities to get to know Him (Jesus) better. I promise it will make a huge difference knowing who you are praying to. Fellowship with Jesus awhile and see if it doesn't do you some good! You don't serve a God, you serve the one and only God, and Jesus is his name!
