He’s Gonna Want Them Back
What a week. Texas was chosen this week to demonstrate resilience. Turn to Genesis on your iPhone and read with me:
26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over [g]all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that [h]moves on the earth.”
I want you to note the sequence of events. First, God set off The Big Bang. Now, I know that some of you openly reject anything smacking of scientific method, but can we agree that in the beginning there was zip and then there was zap? Six days or six billion years, a thousand years is but a day to God and a day is as a day in divorce court with all your ex’s family there talking to the judge! Or words to that effect.
And then God went on to create all the things that went into everything from Andromeda to Maurice’s BBQ in Harker Heights Texas. Please note He made man sometime after He made bacteria. That’s where we were on the priority list. But, and this is critical, He gave us something He gave to no other inhabitants therein. Dominion! And the Lord spoke in a loud voice, and it sounded like a trumpet, and man asked, “What shall we do?” and the Lord got holy, and powerful, and resounded-duh . . . and the Lord said, “I made it, you run it, I’m taking the day off!”
There is nothing funny about the recent floods in Texas. But, as usual, atheists, naysayers, and Democrats will ask Where was your God then? That’s a reasonable question. Where was the creator of the universe when the Guadelupé invited itself into those little girls’ bedroom? He was where He’d always been. Waiting for those little angels to take their place in the Kingdom the He had provided for them before the fuse was lit on the Big Bang. As for the aftermath? He had sent us. With all our frailties, all our misconceptions, all our half-baked ideas. I made it, you run it. And we seeded the clouds, inhibited warnings, and blamed God when the inevitable happened.
If you believe in God, Jesus, and an afterlife then you must understand that those little girls lived but for a blink of history. Their blink was cut short, but what would have happened had there been no flood. Life would have run its course. Some would grow old, some would have died young anyway. Because that’s how life is.
They would have had to contend with that life. And I grieved right along with the rest of Texas. As I told you last week, that’s the reason I post their pictures every time another body is found. The least I can do. Tell their passing. Our film crew is from and in that area. We are a Christian Movie company. As of yet I do not know if someone that I’ve worked with is unfound, tangled in the brush on the banks of the Guadelupé. This is up close and personal for me.
I close with the words of the Prophet, Steve Jobs: Always treasure those God sends to you because He’s gonna want them back.
