God...an Intelligent Designer

As my wife and I were driving home last Thursday, we noticed deer out in the fields behind the Rockview Prison. It was cold then and the temperatures were to drop below 0 during the night. As we continued home, it occurred to me just how AWESOME my God is.

Although it was going to be cold, those deer were already well cared for. God had designed them to survive out in the wintery blast that was coming. All they had to do was listen and do what their God instincts told them.

Matthew 6:30-31
"And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?

And what about me? Here I am complaining about the cold, but I wasn't designed to sleep in the forest or be out in the frigid temperatures. However, I was designed to survive the cold, tough days of life. Those days where nothing seems to go right, my way, or no one sees things the way I do. Unexpected twist in daily life can really make your day miserable. Then I think, God, this is your day and I am here for your service. How do I go about making this all about you? And if I listen, He is there to tell me what to do and when to do it.

Matthew 6:32-34
These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.

May God bless your day and give you the strength to turn over your worries and problems to Him.
