This week’s Truth Keepers for Truth Seekers column is about looking beyond our little world and problems as well Supernatural being.

There are those among us, who seem to have a look into the future, have hope for that future and instead of focusing on themselves and what they want from this life, sacrifice and work hard to make things better for those around them and for their future. I thank God for those souls and love working with and around them. They inspire me to do more and look beyond my own little world and problems.
If you are one of those, read on. If not and you have already decided, “Well this life is enough for me and whoever comes after me, just have to figure it out for themselves. I have to figure it out right now so why should I bother about their problems”. And they go on, just living in their own little circle, maybe doing something for their kids, making sure they got something and for the rest, just let society be.
If you are still reading, you are probably not one of those. I hope not.
Living for just ourselves and this life, is not much fun and will bring no joy, peace or happiness. Being focused on ourselves and having our mind so occupied with what we like and want, how people are offending us, the problems of this earth existence and just surviving, makes a poor meaningless life, And definitely does not fulfill the book written about you from before you were born. (Psalm 139:16)
Is there a Supernatural being that made this planet and cares about you and the future of this planet, or if that Being is there, did He leave it hanging by itself and left the scene?
If a society is crumbling, what is the core problem? May I dare say that not knowing Who the real Father of all of us is, what He is like and therefore not knowing how to reflect Him on this earth, is the core problem. Not knowing we can make things better for others, the future of our community, and therefore ourselves in the process, is the bigger problem. If you are still looking to everything else and murmur about others as the problem, you might be the problem
If we get a bigger perspective of what God’s (our Heavenly Father) response has been from the beginning of Creation on the problem caused right at the start of planet earth, we would want to reflect that. Solution-making-God and become part of the solution instead of the problem.
Question: Is there a lot of darkness, uncertainty, evil, around us? Do we have to experience it? Where is God in all that? Does He not respond to kidnappers, murders, thieves and the like and just let them cause the heart ache and misery they want to create?
Has the following be His Response from the beginning that He created man in His own image? Knowing though that shortly after wickedness would enter men’s heart? Is there any love in the following words and would we respond like that? (Written in God’s Word, the Bible)
Rom 1:18- 21- For God in heaven unveils his holy anger breaking forth against every form of sin, both toward ungodliness that lives in hearts and evil actions. For the wickedness of humanity deliberately smothers the truth and keeps people from acknowledging the truth about God.
In reality, the truth of God is known instinctively, for God has embedded this knowledge inside every human heart.
Opposition to truth cannot be excused on the basis of ignorance, because from the creation of the world, the invisible qualities of God’s nature have been made visible, such as his eternal power and transcendence. He has made his wonderful attributes easily perceived, for seeing the visible makes us understand the invisible. So then, this leaves everyone without excuse.
Throughout human history, the fingerprints of God were upon them, yet they refused to honour him as God or even be thankful for his kindness. Instead, they entertained corrupt and foolish thoughts about what God was like. This left them with nothing but misguided hearts, steeped in moral darkness.
Although claiming to be super-intelligent, they were in fact shallow fools.
For only a fool would trade the unfading splendour of the immortal God to worship the fading image of other humans, idols made to look like people, animals, birds, and even creeping reptiles!
So our first response should be: Who is this Supernatural being?
Can you explore that? I know this Supernatural being is more than willing to reveal Himself to you if you just ask Him something like: “God, I do not know Who you are but start revealing yourself to me, so I can become part of the solution of today’s problems.” Children know. God gave them their own angel which is visible to them from birth and you will often see them stare in a seemingly empty space. They are probably watching their own angel. This angel is also looking at the Heavenly Father at the same time, because He gives this angel instructions of how to protect this little being.
Our response should be: To be real Fathers, true mothers to help Him in this job to father and mother, children (even if not our own but of course especially our own because He gave them to us, not someone else). Children that will be a light and solution to today’s myriad of problems that we seem to be facing each day. Will our children face the same or more and more problems in their growing up because we failed to be true fathers and mothers and failed to work with the Heavenly Father just doing our own thing, living in our own world?
We have free choice, yes. But He made us to choose right, not wrong. Why would we not want to choose His ways if that gets us out on top?
Throughout human history, the fingerprints of God were upon them- us, creation, the heavens! Are you looking?
He says in Psalm 139:16 and -16: You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.
Jeremiah 29:11 says – “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope”.
God knows you whether you like that fact or not. He loves us and wants to be involved in our lives to get things the way He created this earth to be in the first place. For who? You and me!
We can all have a wonderful life.
It is up to us.
God did His part. And ever so ready to help us play our part.
Will you?
Blessings,
