In The Beginning, God...

 Greetings to you all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ,

     Genesis 1:1 says, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth”

     There are some things in life that are hard to believe.  I recently have had contact wit h several people on the internet who are not what they were suppos3ed to be.  I have been the victim of catfishing, which is not fishing for catfish, but for money from unsuspecting people.  The internet can be doctored up so as to give a person a false identity and how would you know?  I once saw a comic strip from the Sunday Paper in Parkersburg, West Virginia of the strip named, “B.C.”  It was a strip about a cave man who asked if God was real and if He ws to make Himself known to the cave man.  The next series of pictures showed  lightning, sunsets, shooting cars, thunder, while the cave man looked on.  at the end, the cave man walks away after seeing all of the marvels of the universe and says, “I guess He is not real after all.”

     Hebrews 1:1-2 also says, “God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,  Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;”  Many could probably argue with me over the creation of the universe and also the existence of God.  I, like the cave man, have asked the same quest ion, but my answer is just the opposite.  God’s creation is a witness of His existence.  My Son in law recently was asked by a television show, NCIS, if trees had DNA.  He said that they did and every  tree is unique, just as ever human being past, present and future have different DNA.  T he iris of my eye is also unique from anyone else on this planet.  I look at my Amaryllis and see t he hand of God in the design of each flower.  Six identical blooms have appeared at the top.  So, does God exist?  My answer is that He does exist and while I don’t see Him physically, I seee the results of His work every day.in the place where I live.  I also see what God has done in my own life even to the leading of my wife and I to a conference in 1972 where I met the Lord in a personal way and asked Him to be my Savior and for me to live for Him from that  time on.  Since then, God has never failed me.  I have been in tough times but God always provided in one way or another.  I see the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy that beats the odds of any such thing ever happening.  I have faith in the Word of God.  As a result of this, I have faith in the promises of the Scriptures in regard to my final destination, to heaven itself.  Unlike the comic strip cave man, i see God’s handiwork everywhere.  I don’t attribute it to Mother Nature, but to God Himself.  Praise God today for the very witness in each and every bug, flower and stars of the universe.
