Living in God’s Hand

By following God’s order we are supposed to be following the right path. At least, this is what King James’ Bible says, by following his order we will accomplish our goals. “And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.” –Gen.17 Line.6 He will protect and guard us from all danger because we are his worshipers. Our lives’ will be protected by his Almighty power. “Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake.” –Gen.18 Line.32 We all need assurance that what we do is right, guidance on correct action and thought and that there is an orderly ethics to life: the good sown will necessarily bear good fruits so that we can than teach that divine knowledge to the next generation. Trying to teach human beings to behave decently (don’t lie, don’t murder, don’t kill, do unto others as you would like done to you, don’t rob, don’t be unfaithful, etc.) is a huge dilemma all societies face; calling on a higher power, a higher intelligence and order even if these ideas really originate from humans themselves is excellent.

By following god’s order we will be fruitful and will leave our children to do so too. “For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.” –Gen.21 Line.2 This also explains that there is always room for miracles and that god will always protect the good, destroying all evil. Through Abraham and Isaac’s example the bible shows that if our faith takes us to do the impossible and unimaginable of being able to trust our son’s live to God’s Will, He will bless us and protect us always. “And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.” –Gen.22 Line.18 The element of faith and supernatural events makes the whole idea of religion much more exciting and dramatic which resonates with our innate yearning for partaking in and being part of a bigger truth than what our senses or science can register. How can anyone not doubt that there must be something more to this when gazing out at the galaxies or looking into a loved ones eyes?
