"A Thought For The Day"

A news story was released about a company which is forbidding the use of the name Christ or Jesus on their gift cards.  Many of those who are of the Christian faith are in an uproar.  The whole scenario has been rolling around in my mind, and this is where I landed.:

God does not live by the rule or law of man; man does live by the rule and law of God.  

This fact is not contingent upon one's belief or disbelief of it.  As is so commonly expressed, "It is what it is."

He cannot be contained; He cannot be controlled; He cannot be disallowed or eliminated.  No rule or law of man touches Him; nor will it bring about His extinction. 

Is man able to contain the wind, the sea, the shifting of the plates of the earth?  Can man control the weather, the cycle of seasons, the stars and planets in the heavens?  Can he stop the rotation of the earth or the force of gravity?  And that is only creation, not the Creator Himself. 

There is a movement underway, visible in other parts of the world and spilling over to our homeland, to eliminate faith and those of faith.  The response and reaction is often near hysteria and panic, as many try to come up with a solution to counter these atrocities. But I would suggest taking a step back and giving it some thought--This is God who is being taken on.  Who has ever done that and come out the victor?

So let the world create their bans, pass their rules of forbidden words, and make as many laws as possible to eliminate God from existence.  I seriously doubt He feels threatened.  

All He has ever asked is that we stand--just stand.   

For those who would say, "Yes, but for any of this to apply one has to believe there is a God, and I don't," you are placing me in a position where I am forced to say it:  "The fool has said in his heart 'There is no God.'" 

And there you have it--my thought for the day.  Or make that thoughts.
