Be Careful!!!

    The speaker at church this morning was a visitor, and he had three basic questions that his talk hung on….1. Where did I come from?   2. What is the point of me being here?  and 3. Where am I going?  Then he went on about evolution versus what the Bible teaches etc etc. and pointed out that evolution can’t answer any of those questions satisfactorily. We are fortunate at our church that there are people of all ages, from old ones, to middle aged ones, to young families, and lots of kids. So there was bound to be someone there who wanted to know these things.       There’s one little saying that a friend of ours used to have on the dashboard of his car, and it’s something I have never forgotten….God says it, I believe it and that settles it!!  Saves a lot of stewing about nothing! Sometimes people say, “But I can’t see how God can do this or that…..” I think they do a lot of worrying for nothing!

     A lot of times, people bring their troubles on their own heads . As long as we remember that whatever we do, there are consequences that will follow…for instance, if we stand in the middle of the road long enough, a car will knock us over. OR if we put our hand in the fire it will get burnt for sure!      I had an accident with our car once that illustrated this point. I was travelling down our hill where there is a sharp corner near the bottom, when I saw another car approaching. I was going far too fast, and on the wrong side of the road, so I jammed on the brakes while pulling away from the middle of the road. The car didn’t like that, and went into a violent spin, flew across a deep ditch and landed up against a tree by the famer’s fence, as well as facing back the way I had come from! So that was a lesson that I learned very quickly from…actions have consequences! Needless to say, I am still very cautious when going around that corner!!!
