Faith and the Creation

I have been coming to a deeper realization of the importance of understanding the Creation.  Even those of us who have faith in a higher power struggle at times to submit our will to God and to seek His will in our lives.  Yesterday, I had this thought.  If we believe that God created this world, wouldn’t He be the first one we would look to for how to successfully navigate life here.  AND.  If we believe He is also the Creator of all mankind, wouldn’t  we look to Him first to learn how best to deal with the people and relationships in our lives?  

Before I shared this thought with my kids, I asked them this question.  “Who would be the best person to ask for help if you wanted to know how to beat a difficult video game?”  They all said, “Jesus.”  Haha!  I told them he probably knew about video games, but probably doesn’t care too much for them and might not be the best one to ask for help.  I rephrased...who would be the best person on earth to ask for help?  One of them said, “The person who created it.”  Yes!  If we want anything, the person who created it is the the best person to look to for help.  They understand the patterns, guidelines, tricks, and rules for success...BECAUSE THEY CREATED THEM!  I am SO grateful to know that God created this earth, knows the secrets for success, and is very, very excited to share them with us!  All we have to do is ask.  He is the one who gave us the invitation.  “Ask and ye shall receive, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you.”
