In my more lucid moments, it has occured to me that even ordinary life is quite extraordinary.

Consider the discussions and responses that are posted here on c.c.
You read something which may or may not interest you, it provokes or inspires a response and after you hit the send button your thoughts are dispatched into cyber space, where in nano seconds they in turn provoke or inspire responses in people on the other side of the planet.Who even knows how these little bytes of information travel from your pc, through the sky, atmosphere and ozone layer to the satellite and back down to hundreds of unknown(to you )pcs???!(If, indeed this is how the world wide web works.)

Another thought.Without God we are all alone.If there is no God - and there is - then what is known as humanity has no point of reference.We then, if we have to follow this thought through, are a bunch of individuals (society/civilisation)who are told to work hard at school so we can get good marks , so we can get into a good high school so we can go to university to get marks for a good job, so we can have money, so we can climb the food chain so we can make a name for ourselves so we can make more money and be busy and important so we can forget that we are alone in a frightening, infinite, dying universe on a tiny ball of rock held there by gravitational forces of other balls of fire and rock, spinning at a maddening rate around a dangerous star called our sun.Not to mention the fact that we more often than not live out our days in frustration and conflict on ever shifting tectonic plates that can and do result in earthquakes which devastate our little corners of the globe.
A pretty bleak scenario.(And this is if you live above the poverty line....)

The alternative is that a Loving Creator is who is benevolent, omnipresent, omnicient and holy is involved in all of creation, including the fartherest reaches of an undiscovered universe, to Alpha Centauri, to our little planet.If His Word is true - and it is - then He sustains everything by the Word of His power and knows the news headlines before they happen, the weather report, the cultural trends, the zeitgeists and the thoughts, deeds and actions of every living individual - and is watching everyone all the time.
If His Word is true - and it is- every human being is morally responsible for the choices they make on a daily basis and has used the free will that He has given them to rebel against Him and to break His laws which are inscribed on their hearts.
If His Word is true - and it is - He is angry at the unrepentant every day but is giving them time to turn to Him and be saved.

Thinking about these things humbles me, puts things into perspective for me, reminds me that man has eternity his soul. It confronts me with the fact that I can either meet Jesus as my Lord and Saviour NOW or as my Lord and Judge on the last day.Either way I will have to meet Him.
