Our God is full of wonders. He created all things in order to provide for the well-being of all humanity. The “anthropic principle” acknowledges that all conditions are perfect for life to exist on earth. If the earth was a little closer to or further from the sun, it would be too hot or too cold. If there was too much rain, snow, or wind, plants couldn’t grow for food. If there was too little oxygen, we couldn’t survive. Christians know where this balance came from.
“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth“ (Genesis 1:1).
I take comfort in the fact that God is in the details of life and He put beauty all around for us to enjoy. He did this without a committee or a planning commission. Of course, God is triune…three in one. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. All three are unique but function in perfect unity.
“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: And thou shall love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up” (Deuteronomy 6:4-7).
Too many parents have forgotten to teach their children the truth of Scripture. In so doing, we stand in the way of God. He is the Creator and the Rule-Maker. His ways need to be sovereign in our lives. If we don’t honor Him, we stand in the way of His will for us.
We are His ultimate creation, and He loves us with a perfect love that we cannot find anywhere but in Christ. When Jesus walked this earth, He showed us what love is. He was not prideful, although He was perfect and could have felt superior to people. He could have acted as if He was above everybody, but He humbled Himself. His only anger was toward the religious leaders who had corrupted God’s truth into a way to puff themselves up and get rich at the expense of the common people.
Anger is a sin and has no place in a Christian’s way of life. If you display anger, how does that represent a Christ-like attitude? How does that show His love? All it does is reflect that you think you are above other people and are able to judge and condemn them. Jesus told us not to judge others or else we will be judged.
“Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven” (Luke 6:37).
