Teach Your Children...
Life happens. A father on a mission to bring his young son out of his crib and down to the breakfast table was at the door of the toddler's bedroom as the youngster woke up. The young child, looking around his room and seeing the morning sunshine and the pleasant surroundings, "Wow!" he said.
Often I can't help but look at the beauties around me and think the same thing. A few years back I was contemplating what to get for Christmas presents. I was considering snow globes and how pretty they are. An enclosed globe with a picturesque scenery, that when you shake them white 'snow' falls on the landscape. As I wondered at their beauty, the irony came to me that we live on a giant globe that operates much the same as the snow globe except it's much more beautiful. We have not just snow, but other weather that happens around us.
Ecclesiastes 11:4 "He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap. 5) As thou knowest not what is the way of the wind, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child; even so thou knowest not the work of God who doeth all."
We now have the science that can partially track the weather and weather patterns. Sometimes even the weatherman is accurate. We have ultrasounds that can watch the baby grow in the womb, yet all of these things are still a wonder. And as the writer of Ecclesiastes says: "even so thou knowest not the work of God who doeth all."
Atheists have tried to tell us for centuries that there is no God (Psalms 14:1 "...The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works; There is none that doeth good.")
Yet it is a true that every culture in the world worships a higher being. We need to be careful that our god is God.
Religion is the most important judgment we will make. Some religions can make us better people, but only Jesus is 'the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Jesus is the only one that will get you to heaven .
There are so many amazing sights— natural phenomenon. When my kids were much younger we had just begun our morning chores and routines, when one son ran back into the house. Something was incredible outside. We didn't know what was happening. Long story short the whole northern sky looked like it was on fire. I'd never seen anything like it before, and I've never seen anything like it since. It wasn't a little fire, the whole sky looked alive and burning.
