History Can Prove
Isaiah 45:18, “For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.”
Hello friends! I do pray this finds you with a good and positive beginning to your day! Even if the weather isn’t at all agreeing with you, or time is not on your side for arriving to your destination; may it get better as you pray for peace, for safety, for everything good! In every day life, we can find history in the making, history in the past. To be able to recall things of years gone by, whether just a few or many years; gives us information that can encourage us to keep going. Our need for the significance of how this world began, how it survived, how it moved forward, means we want answers and a deep true understanding. Just as historians, scientist, scholars, and researchers work diligently to prove how this world came into existence, we as Christians rely on God to give that true insight through His written words in the Bible. We don’t really question in a sense to disprove, we question to become more in line with God and all He promises He gives and how the end will be the best thing ever! There are so many reasons to say why can’t you see, read, accept; just truly believe with the history He provided in His word? So many times, as I read the stories of people in the Bible, I find myself unable to comprehend how back then, they could SEE Jesus, talk to Him, watch Him do miracles; YET, they still doubted! After receiving Him into your heart, living for Him daily, trusting Him, seeing good things happen, HOW can we not know God is proven time and time again? While I researched, I found that these historians have concepts; seven to be exact! They need to know the continuity and change, the cause and effect, the significance, the perspective, the evidence, the empathy, and then the contestability. They want everyone’s opinion, except God’s! Truth is, we learn from every moment in time through history. We are given the past events which serve as warnings, examples; all of which, if we just read and listen to the instructions; maybe our world wouldn’t be so messed up in many ways! Many keep saying that history repeats itself; but its due to worldly people, leaders, just not wanting to let God become the absolute leader! The old must be used with the new to enable true change; history can prove this!
