As I was working, I noticed an ant going about its business and I started to wonder, does an ant see me? Do they stop and stare at the being much larger then them? A being that could, if it so desired, squish the ant, bar its path, move it to a new location, and so many other things.
Then I got to thinking, does God perceive us humans in the same manner? Does he ever wonder while he watches over us: "Do you see me?" Does He ever say: "Hey, I can change your life in an instant." If seen in that light, God seems to be quite scary...
"He was scary back then," says Boogie. "If you remember in the Old Testament, after Adam and Eve ate the apple, we were regarded as servants. Remember when the Ark of the Covenant slipped and a boy stepped forward to catch it, he died the moment he touched it. That was God's orders. It may even seem cruel. But that's how he was back then. Then Jesus came, sacrificed himself and made us square with God. We became his children."
Yes, He does seem to be quite scary. Then what I would remember is that God changes our lives if we let him. We have a choice. Unlike the poor ant that has no choice with whatever I do with it, who is left to deal with the consequences of my actions, I can decide if I let God do his wonders in my life. I do envy the ant, if it can see me. At least, the ant can see the being much larger than itself that can change so much.
And me? I have it a lot harder. He may or may not be there but that's where this little thing called FAITH kicks in.
