Your Seat Over There

How is your seat over there?

How is it knowing you cannot touch me, but can only bitterly stare? 

Oh, how much you must hate me. Knowing you cannot trap me, beat me, cage me. 

How is your seat over there?

How is it knowing He walks with me despite my sin? How unfair! 

Oh, how much you must loathe me. Knowing you're powerless as His glory does clothe me. 

How you demons must cringe!

Knowing that the door of His majesty you can never unhinge! 

How much you must hiss and spit as jealousy rushes over you like a flood. Knowing you can never stand close to the innocent, precious blood. 

I can hear you growl and curse. 

Your anger burns because He loved me first. 

No matter how much you may hate it, you can't change it. 

Your will isn't permitted by His. You can't rearrange it. 

Take your place in your seat over there! Sit, cringe, scream, bark and glare. 

Just be sure to obey His voice,

"Do not touch one single hair." 

Listen closely,

"You're not welcome over there!"

Start Building Your Ark

If I choose what's rational over what is true, how can I rationally believe that the only perfect man chose to be murdered for me and you?

If I go the route that best fits the rationale of my mind, how can I possibly believe in a God that exists outside of time?

It's interesting that we bind Him by means of science.  

Did He not create those very means and do we dare say He cannot defy it? 

And is it defiance if all things made by Him surrendered to Him and therefore are in compliance? 

Do not forget, God is without limits. 

So if you desire to truly believe, wish the boundaries of your mind good riddance. 

The flood. The whale. The cross. Happened. 

They aren't fairy tales, metaphorical poetics or the misguided foolishness of the old fashioned. 

If you can believe that the King's blood floods and cleanses your heart, can you not believe that a great flood cleansed the earth to give a brand new start?

If you can believe that God swallows man and saves him from Hell, can you not believe that Jonah was swallowed alive and in the belly of a whale? 

If you can believe that Jesus, the perfect man, was murdered on the cross for your sin, can you not believe that His Word is true from the very beginning to the end? 

Know when you are studying science, you are studying God.

Good luck on finding solid evidence that puts the two at odds. 

Believing big things is not an easy road to embark.

So, if you choose to believe, start building your ark. 

Where is God?

The same atoms that make up the stars are the same atoms that make up your body to the depths of your bones.

The same breath that will push a cry from your lungs is the same breath that will pull cries from the stones.

All the particles of the atom are the components that make up Adam,

And in the heart of Adam is all eternity which no man can fathom.

The same intricate design of the entire universe is the same intricate design in one human brain cell. 

Inside of the heart of man is all the mysteries of all the universe, yet no man can tell. 

The same force that holds man down to this earth is the same force that holds earth in its place.

That "nothing" that holds the earth in its place is the same something that, from the dirt, formed your face.

The same power that gives form to the formless is made up of light.

That light when seen by the human eye awakens the brain to imagine more than can be seen by sight.

That light coupled with sound moves at a speed powerful enough to create a universe.

No man can grasp it, no matter the fervency of the search, from cradle to hearse.

In all of this, where is God?

I have a better question. 

Where are you?

In your very presence, you will find He's there too.

CONVINCED By Constellations

In studying the constellations, the galaxies, and the planets, I see a divine touch is found in every organized, story telling detail. Even looking objectively (as objectively as I can look) at it all, I have to say Psalms 19:1, 

The heavens declare the glory of God, is true!

Genesis 1:14, Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; (NKJV) 

Signs defined in the STRONG'S Concordance: 
probably from ''uwth' (225) (in the sense of appearing); a signal (literally or figuratively), as a flag, beacon, monument, omen, prodigy, evidence, etc. mark, miracle, sign, token.

(P.S. uwth sounds a lot like OATH, :) )

Both definitions from The Oxford Dictionary

Evidence: the available body of facts or information indicating whether a belief or proposition is true or valid:

Token: a thing serving as a visible or tangible representation of a fact, quality, feeling, etc.

The facts (signs) of the life, death, and resurrection as well as the omen of the return of Jesus Christ is told in the sky! When God tells a story, He goes for the maximum dramatic effect. 

Job 38:32
"Can you lead forth a constellation in its season, And guide the Bear with her satellites?"

Job 26:13
"By His breath the heavens are cleared; His hand has pierced the fleeing serpent."

Psalms 19:1-6 

The heavens declare the glory of God; 

and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth forth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
