AN ACT OF GOD?

Isn't it odd that man blames acts of fact on Acts of God? Insurance companies blame catastrophes like sinking ships at sea or killer hurricanes or torrential rains or droughts or other climatic events on the intent of God when, truth be known, these phenomena most likely were brought about by violation of God's law that intended for nature's force to steer the course, for better or for worse, what will be the end result of all the Lord created with just a word.

God said, "Let there be light." Man harnessed a thing he called lightning a Thomas Edison said, "Let there be the electric light." God said, loosely quoted, "Let there be hot and cold, each in their own season." Later, to God's alarm Man invented ways to make cold days warm and hot days cold and, thanks to Edison's electricity, it was to be.

Now, who's to say, Man's inventive mind will not someday find a way to turn the weather off and on so all the Acts of God will be gone, replaced by Acts of Man who, in his way creates false rain and diverts hurricanes and calms the seas by turning each wind into a breeze and lets crops and flowers and even trees draw nourishment in ways not meant to be. Thus, we will live in an artificial, Man Created universe. Will it be better. will it be worse? By reinventing the Acts of God will the Almighty deem it a curse on all that He created?

Maybe we should go back to the days of creation and find out what God had in mind. And surprisingly, He might say, "Let it be. I have written, let the future be up to me."
