Nightflying: The Entertainment Guide

Most people say they believe in God. But maybe they never take the time to consider what it means to believe in God.
     First of all, let’s make sure we know what God we believe in. There is only one true God. The Bible always calls him “He,” and I always capitalize His name, so everybody knows Who I’m talking about. I’m talking about the One Who spoke the universe into being, out of nothingness. If you find that idea hard to swallow, try to come up with a better one.
     Just look around you right now. He made everything you see, including you. If you’ve learned much about the universe, you know that our smartest scientists still haven’t found an end to it. It just keeps on going. Like God, it is limitless.
     Here’s another idea for you to try to wrap your mind around. God, the Creator, thought up an unlimited number of different creations, in unlimited varieties, from the amoeba to the gnat to the platypus to the elephant to the whale. They’re all made of living cells that duplicate themselves continually. He makes an unthinkable variety of plants, from the tiny mold spore to the mighty giant Sequoia trees. And get this; He fixed it so the plants have to depend on the animals for life, and vice versa. Don’t let it bother you if you already can’t get your mind around all this. Nobody else can. If we could, we would have the mind of God.
Our Creator has given us at least 2 things to help us to understand Him. The first and most important is the Bible. In the Bible, He explains Himself in words we can understand, if we are sincere when we read His words. The Bible is like a library of 66 books. The books were written by dozens of different men over several thousand years, but they all agree, because God Himself dictated them.
But for sure, there is a super Intelligence in charge. He loves us, and wants to know us better and help us. But He’s not pushy. He tells us what He wants for us, and it’s all good. He’s like the best dad you can imagine, but even better. He loves all His creation. He watches over it and supervises its operation, 24/7. Look at that bird up in the tree. God provides food for it, every day. The Bible says He even feeds the baby crows in their nests. Check it out.
     He has also given our scientists the smarts to explore and discover life and the universe. Most of them know they are looking at the works of a supreme Intelligence, a creative Genius Who is so vast, they aren’t able to wrap their minds around Him either.
     There’s a lot we don’t know about God. We know He is a Spirit, and that He is invisible. That’s always been a big hang-up for folks who have to have a God they can see. So they make up their own hand-made gods. We laugh at these folks, and call them idol worshipers. But we make up our own phony gods, too.
     We believe in other things we can’t see. We can’t see the wind, but we see what it does. We can’t see electricity, but we flip on a light switch without giving it a second thought. If we fine-tune our minds, we can see and hear what God is doing, all around us. He is the Founder, Inventor, CEO and General Manager of everything in the universe. His creation is continuing all around us, all the time.
    But for sure, there is a super Intelligence in charge. He loves us, and wants to know us better and help us. His plan for us is better than any plan we could ever make up for ourselves. But He’s not pushy.
