As I got into my sisters car the police helicopter was
overhead, Pamela said it always made her feel nervous when she saw it to which
I replied, "Oh it makes me feel quite safe, it's always good to know they
are doing their job, of course if it came over my house and it's light shone
right into my garden I would feel nervous then!" We continued on our
journey and Pamela took me home and I thought no more about it until later in
the evening when I was on the phone to my daughter Emma and the police
helicopter came right over my house shining it's light thankfully it was only a
matter of seconds before it moved to the next street where it hovered and
stayed for quite awhile.
After
awhile it went on it's way and I'm presuming it succeeded in catching whoever
it was after. The police helicopter
and it's occupants do an amazing job they can see things that can't be seen
from the ground and keep the police on the ground informed, and I for one am
very grateful for the work they do.
It led my thoughts to
the Lord God, who is all seeing, all knowing and omnipresent. As a Christian I
am relieved to know that Almighty God is in control, and that all authority is
His even over my own life. I am not perfect even though I am a new creation in
Christ consequently there are times when I falter, fail and fall. When I have
done something wrong/sin God sees and His Holy Spirit convicts me of the
sin/wrong in order that I can seek forgiveness.
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just
to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
However if I didn't believe in God and didn't
acknowledge Him, refuse to believe His existence that does not mean that He
does not exist, God's existence does not depend on man's belief. He is, was and always will be, He is God almighty
who made everything good.
I know He exists because I see Him working in my
life. Nine times out of ten people don't want to know God because they want to
do their own thing, go their own way, do the things that they have always done
if they acknowledged God then they would have to admit they were under His
authority and that they were sinners.
Romans 3:23
for all have sinned and fall
short of the glory of God.
The criminal on the run
really wishes that the police didn't exist, the
sinner who wants to carry on sinning really wishes God didn't exist.
Unlike
the helicopter that can only be in one place at one time, God sees it
all, He sees and knows our thoughts and our deeds, if you don't know the Lord
Jesus whom God sent to save sinners all you have to do is confess you are a
sinner and ask Jesus to come into your life and He will as He did mine.
From
that time on He has helped me in all my troubles, trials
and tribulations because not only does He see our sin He sees everything, our sorrow,our joy, our pain
and He has promised to be there always for us.
God without man is still God,
man without God is nothing.
