Worry Not

Regardless Of What You Are Going Through, Remember, God’s Word Is Always True.

– Robb Thompson

When I worry, I put the stresses of my situation and circumstance above my belief in the Word of God. When I worry, I fail to fully place my heart and mind in His hands, wholly surrender myself and find rest in Him. When I worry, I doubt His awesome power and the truth in His Word. Sigh. So many things I do to disappoint Him when I worry.

Jesus said, “Do not worry…”
It wasn't a suggestion;
it was a command.

Okay, Daddy, I will obey.

Your Word is truth.”

The Bible Vs. Science

It's late and I'm tired.

I think I'll make this a short one. I just hope that my brain stays up with me as I try to write all that my mind wants to say. If I zone out and you can't seem to get what I'm saying no matter how many times you read my sentences, don't worry. Haha. I'll probably read this again tomorrow and I'll catch my mistakes then. In the event of there being any, I'll rewrite the parts I where my brain happened to be MIA. =)

So…

Ready?

Okay. Here we go.

The Bible Vs. Science.
Creation Vs. Evolution.
Faith Vs. Certainty.

With so many opposing factors influencing our take on life, our conception of the world and our worldview, who's to say what's right and what's not anymore? Who's to say which is truth and which is not, when two contrasting and contradictory worlds collide and confront? Sure, we may say that we are the ones who are right. That believing in the Bible, in Creation and having faith through it all is the way to go – that it is the ONLY way to go. And sure, Christians DO make up the highest count when it comes down to it. An estimated 33 percent of the world's population are Christians (every denomination included). So what if the percentages shown are just approximate estimates and do not provide a definitive number? That's one third of the entire population here on Earth, man! 2.1 billion souls who believe in the three concepts I mentioned earlier!

Okay, I've lost my train of thought.
Got myself too excited with notes regarding
the size of specific religions around the world.

Sigh.

Tinki paging Brain.

Come in, Brain.
Do you read me?

Sigh.

Apparently not.

I think I should close soon.

So, my point of writing is this: I'm a Bible-believing Christian. You see, my God has given me a set of scriptures, consisting of 66 books of the Old and New Testaments, that tell me everything I need to know about every aspect of life. The answers are all already there. I just have to know where to look. Heck, I have to WANT to look or I may miss it altogether. Wrapped within these scriptures are clear guidelines regarding my conduct towards whatever that may come my way.

Aaargh.
This isn't working.
I'm gonna just leave you with this.

"When science and the Bible differ, science has obviously misinterpreted its data."

– Henry Morris (Institute for Creation Research)

No matter what I may think and no matter what logic, science,
reasoning and commonsense may tell me, as long as it contradicts
with what my Bible says, I know that it is I who have made a mistake.

Time And Time Again

You've done it again.
Yes, You've done it time and time again.

*closes eyes*

Thank You, Lord.

Wow

Wow.

There's no other way to put it.

Wow.

My God is an awesome God.

Psalm 4

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm of David.

1 Answer me when I call to you,
O my righteous God.
Give me relief from my distress;
be merciful to me and hear my prayer.

2 How long, O men, will you turn my glory into shame [a] ?
How long will you love delusions and seek false gods [b] ?
Selah

3 Know that the LORD has set apart the godly for himself;
the LORD will hear when I call to him.

4 In your anger do not sin;
when you are on your beds,
search your hearts and be silent.
Selah

5 Offer right sacrifices
and trust in the LORD.

6 Many are asking, "Who can show us any good?"
Let the light of your face shine upon us, O LORD.

7 You have filled my heart with greater joy
than when their grain and new wine abound.

8 I will lie down and sleep in peace,
for you alone, O LORD,
make me dwell in safety.

How can it be possible that people say my God isn't real? It isn't possible.
