A question in an email followed by an applicable Shakespeare quote , and relevant supporting statements of evidence made me ask myself , What if there never was a God to create this world?
What if His only son were never given for our salvation ? What if He never were crucified ? How much would these events change the history we learn? Or the history that we now are participles of ?
What if there never were a Noah to build an Ark?
What if there were no Moses to lead Israel out Egypt ?
'What if there were no David , Jerusalem's most beloved king?
There are many more what if's , but these suffice and lead us to a point .
In six days God created this world , including a way to make us well before He created us . Then He stayed with us and still is , as greedy as we are many of us have denied Him and His son that He gave out of His LOVE for us .
Most of us relegate them to Sunday , wind them up and pretend to worship them ., the rest of us know them personally , open our HEARTS to them , acknowledge them 7 x 24 x 365 . know we are created in His image , strive to be like Him , and live our lives for the purpose of making life a nicer place to be for ourselves , those we know , and will know , regardless of how we are abled , Jesus told His disciples , the son of man has no place to lay His head , with God all things are possible,.We almost always never know how He will use us next , but our willingness to serve Him puts us where He needs us to be .
Noah , a carpenter by trade , perhaps his only qualification , at 600 built an Ark to Gods specifications , he knew nothing about shipbuilding . Man lived for hundreds of years [Methusala was 900+ when he died ] until God found His creation unrighteous . He then shortened it to 120 years , man has shortened that . Noah , preserved mankind , and the animal life of this planet during 40 days and nights of continuos rain and the subsequent days and months while the flood waters subsided .
Moses led Israel out of Egypt . An unlikely candidate , he spent 40 years in the wilderness as a shepard . Was wanted by Egypt for murder .Was raised in Pharoahs house , became an Egyptian engineer , likekly his only two qualifications , had a speech problem , like Noah before him he was advanced in years .
Accompanied by Aaron his brother , because of his speech limitations , and his wife Marion , led Israel out of Egypt , followed smoke by day , fire by night , parted the Red Sea , spent 40 years in the dessert with Israel , and received the ten commandments .
David , diminutive , was a shephard who with a stone slayed the Philistine giant Goliath, was a feared warrior . Saul spent years conspiring to kill him , beloved king of Jerusalem , and presever of Jesus lineage .
Recently in prayer I reminded God that I have no degrees , He said yes you do , the same as myself , my son and these men . Addtedd two that names like Christopher Columbus , Ben Franklin , Napolean Bonaparte , Thomas Edison , Abraham Lincoln , Alexander Graham Bell , Henry Ford , none of them had degrees excepting the only one that counts LIFE .
