Fellow Labourers-
One of the reasons why science is so believable is because of the fact that the universe is regular and predictable. What if one day we awoke to see the sun rising in the west? This would be a special case. Well in life there are a lot of special cases for us to consider. We cannot abandon the general for the special, but every possible means should be used to understand the special case. The special case may be real or it may just be an aberration or even a mirage. This sounds a bit like I am refuting the argument of the article, but I am not. What I am doing is using science instead of philosophy to make a point. Science is one way of knowing and it cannot always be used to satisfy an argument.
When it comes to the source of our blessings this is always a constant. We cannot say it generally comes from God as if God is not the only source. It always come from God and he causes the rain to fall on the just and the unjust. The source never changes but the means may change. So, when we give thanks let us be specific.
Today I thank God for the saints who always pray for me. I thank him for our Pastor who is an example of faithfulness. I thank him for my wife who is always looking out for my good. I thank him for my children who has helped me to know the love and pain of a father. I thank him for you my fellow labourers through whom some of my blessings flow. But most of all thank God from whom all blessings flow.
Pax Vobiscum
Robert A. Stewart

ReplyDeleteThis day more than ever brethren & sistren, I found myself giving thanks to God even more than ever. Then, as I read this article, I remember what I saw early this morning when I went outside. I looked up in the sky and I saw a long white line and knew it was an airplane that had just passed. I trailed it to see which direction it was heading, then after a while there was another line, and then another. As I continued to watch the lines criss crossed, I saw a perfect triangle in the cross over. All sides seemed equal. I ran to get the camera to snap it, as I snapped it the camera went dead..... that was the battery anyhow. The thing is.... going back to the article, I'm reminded of the three equal sides of that triangle as Father, Son & Holy Ghost "Three in One". So much to think about.
The thing is I never heard a sound in the air to verify the fact that these lines were coming from airplanes. I saw one of my nieghbour across the road and drew his attention to the lines. He said they were spy planes.
Oh how I used to love to sing that doxology when I used to attend the Methodist church. Now I sing the last line thus......"Praise Jesus for the Holy Ghost".
Have a blessed, peaceful, prayerful and thankful day.
God's richest blessings.
