What If?

Greetings!!!

Have you ever seen a Cedar of Lebanon? Since I have never seen one, I checked it out on Wikipedia. They can grow to be 130 feet (40 m) tall and 8 feet 2 inches (2.5 m) in diameter! That is huge! Now, consider Job 40: 15-18.  God is speaking to Job and his three friends. "Behold now, Behemoth, which I made as well as you; He eats grass like an ox. Behold now, his strength in his loins, And his power in the muscles of his belly. He bends his tail like a cedar; The sinews of his thighs are knit together. His bones are tubes of bronze; His limbs are like bars of iron." Most commentaries say Behemoth is the hippopotamus or the elephant. Neither one has a tale close to 130 feet long or 8 feet in diameter. Can you think of anything that might have? The Brachiosaurus or Apatosaurus come to mind for me. They were great beasts!! If Job had never seen a dinosaur, why would God direct his attention to such a huge beast? What if the Bible is correct? What if man and dinosaurs coexisted together, then maybe the earth is much younger than they taught you in school.

Now consider God's gift. John 3:16-17  "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through Him. He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the judgment, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their deeds were evil." Again, what if the Bible is right? What if the only reason Jesus came into this world was to die for your sins. What if God really loves you and wants you to spend all of eternity with Him. What if God really does have an amazing plan for your life, then you have a decision to make. Will you receive God's gift?

The LORD bless you with revealing His truth to you.

I love you,
Ruth
