“Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come!” Matthew 18:7
I was listening to an ad on TV for Amazon claiming that if we don’t change the climate we are doomed within like…20 years! The speaker’s position with Amazon was some fancy name that ended with ‘engineer,’ and his motivation was to protect the planet for his child… ”doing everything I can!” Well, according to the one who actually OWNS the planet…not everything!”
Growing up in SW Pennsylvania, I remember towns, due to the smoke from the steel mills, where you could hardly see to drive. Creeks were turned into places to pour sewage and even sulfur from the coal mines! At one point, it became a joke when the river in Cleveland had caught fire due to all the trash floating on it! If there was EVER a time when it would seem that the earth’s goose was cooked…that was it! But not according to today’s doomsayers!
It seems to me that as man has gotten further and further away from God, he seems to fancy himself smarter than God as well! The scientific and political scene around the world has risen itself ABOVE God, displaced Him from His throne and then taken His seat! And the greatest tool of change is the scepter of FEAR!
Scaring everyone into believing there is a major crisis and that only YOU can fix is a GREAT method of control and power. And it is a popular tool, especially in an election year. Global warming, a pandemic, injustice, inequality and the radical individual rights are just a few of the hot buttons pushed to get people’s attention. But NONE are anywhere NEAR the TRUE fear we SHOULD experience!
God is the creator of EVERYTHING and HE owns it all! And even though we are ALL born KNOWING it…that fact becomes less convenient THEY are the one causing their own children to live in fear! God notices!
How arrogant to God must it seem, to think that humans can control the planet! How much longer will His patience extend when fear is used to distort His reality and when elected government officials arise to create a perception of a problem only THEY can solve! It is a game born in the pit of hell from the Father of Lies! And Judgment is coming!
There is only 1 answer and 1 place we can and should turn for peace and safety. His name is Jesus Christ and His ways are NOT difficult to understand. HE is the one who belongs on the Throne of our heart and our planet. One day He is coming to set things right. For now, He graciously awaits for us to turn to Him and ASK… BEFORE He does! Will you? Our children deserve to know that HE is The Truth!
