Welcome to God’s Word to You
God’s Word to You today is found in Romans 8:18-21
18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. 19 For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. 20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.
God created everything. He created man. Man sinned. Everything changed.
We look at this world as if it is normal and all is as God created it to be. That is the fallacy of of all other religions. Especially the God is everything view.
Man is the problem here. And man’s sins are what makes evil in this world and problems and storms and on and on. It isn’t God’s fault. God has much better for us.
And even creation wants to be back where it should be.
A point to look at is Florida. If you have been keeping up over the last decade you know of the python problem. They are running rampant.
Man brought them from Burma, tried to keep them as pets and over and over those who chose to have one but couldn’t care for them let them go in or near the everglades.
Now men will tell you God didn’t mean for them to be there. They have no natural enemy there and have reproduced at a terrifying rate. A homeowner captured a 12 foot one in a BBQ cooker. In his yard!!!
I don’t know about you but where I live I surely don’t expect to find a 12 foot Burmese python in my back yard. And this one wasn’t meant to be there. But it isn’t God’s he was or wasn’t situation. Man did this.
And yet we are eager to point out it is God’s plan or the Devil made them do it. When it is our own foolish desire to have what we want and to control our environment.
But we can’t do either without cost.
Jesus is coming back. When He does all will be set straight. All will be as it should be. We have control on only one part of that.
Will we be His or not. And for those of us who are His now we need to show Hm to a lost world. Let’s let everyone know there is really something better.
me n’ God love ya
