Lessons From the Titanic

I watched Titanic last night, and yes it was a very good movie. It made me think and ask questions. Like Why did God allow the ship to sink? Why did God have all those innocent people die?

They challenged God and lost, "Even God himself cannot sink this ship." God hears and sees everything, He is all-powerful and He needed to remind these high-and-mighty people that.

But why God? Why? For My glory. That's all that matters. Everybody dies. They all just died in a tragic way.

And the Bible says they are without excuse, everybody at one point in life will know or knows there is a God. They all had a chance to go to heaven. It's just sad that they all died in such tragic ways.

If you haven't watched or read a historical fiction book on the Titanic, you won't get it as much. I knew Titanic sank and I knew thousands of people died, and I know it was a very tragic thing that happend. But it didn't hit home to me, until I watched the movie.

It's for God's glory, and that's all that matters. Thank God, he didn't kill us all. God is a just and faithful God. We don't need to understand all the why's and the how's. We need to trust God almighty, all-powerful, creator of the universe, lover of our souls.

It's hard to understand how this could happen or why God could allow such a horrible thing to happen. But that is where faith comes in. And death is not the end of life; it is only the begging.
To God alone be the Glory!

Fear Not

No matter what's going on in your life, the God of the universe knows. He was human before, He understands your feelings. Sometimes it seems like God's so far away.

You see God walking next to you over hills covered in wildflowers, but when you start into the dark dangerous valley, He is not beside you. The reason He is not by your side is because He is carrying you through the valley. No matter what is going on in your life, no matter WHAT, God is there for you.

Faith is more than believing in God, Faith is living out day-to-day life with God.

James 2: 19

You believe there is a God. Good! Even the demons believe that- and shudder.

Faith is trusting God and His decisions. In all situations, whether your scared of a spider or your about to die, God is there we need to trust Him.

I am learning what it means to live by Faith. It's not just trusting God in the good times, when things are under control. It's trusting Him in the hard times when things are spinning out of control. I think God gives us hard times and such, so we have to rely on Him more. We need God even when things are good as well as when things are bad.

Hebrews 11:13

All these people were still living by Faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance.

God is there for you, all you have to do is believe that and live it out in Faith. I'm working on a lot of things in my life. But I have to say Faith is the hardest. I'm going to work on trusting God more and put my Faith to work. Are you going to?
To God alone be the Glory.
