God,The Orderly Designer!

Here's another nation that is in peril for it's life.

As I was reading Psalm 1 and then Psalm 2, I was struck by the fact that they were together for a reason. Psalm 1 tells everyone that they should earnestly seek wise council and keep The Almighty at the forefront of their lives. Things always go well for those of us who do things the way we were designed. Then Psalm 2 says He will laugh at those who try to discard Him from their lives and do things their way.

We are not told how long Adam and Eve lived their lives in the presence of Our Lord before Adam decided to play the blame game. But I don't think it was too long.

As we witness the economies of many countries falling by the way side, it doesn't take a genius to see why! After kicking The Almighty out of our lives, why on earth should anyone be surprised. Could it be they never believed there was a creator to begin with? Could it be they never believed He would design His creation in an orderly fashion? All one has to do is read Psalm 19 and Romans 1 to understand the existence of a universe and why and who designed it. Do we understand everything he has done? Of course not. We are finite creatures. We are creatures, not gods. Is it any wonder that when we fail to do those things we were created to do, that everything falls apart.

Here's an example that most will understand. Take marriage, when a husband fails to treat his wife with love and respect, treating her as if the sun and moon revolves around her the marriage fails. Then if the wife doesn't show the respect due her husband, treating him as if the world revolves around him, the marriage fails.

God is orderly and a designer like no other. He has thought all this out before hand. He wants harmony in His creation, not discourse, like there is now. If the world turned to Him and said, God I am sorry for not recognising You! For not having a thankful heart for everything You have done. Please bring us back to You and forgive us for what we have done to You and your Son and your creation. His heart would melt!

But here we are in such terrible dilemmas. The flesh is stronger than the angels that sinned, it is stubborn, self willed, destructive and evil to the core. If you find that statement hard to swallow, read The scriptures. It is why Christ died.
