he now classic “Terminator” movies foretold of a future where advanced computers and robots would become self-aware, rebel against the people that created them, and turn to be the enemy of mankind. Today, with extremely high-speed networking, massive storage, sophisticated robotics and immense computational capability combined with Artificial Intelligence (AI) software, we may in fact be close to a 'SkyNET' moment when our creation will rebel against US.

While this destructive future may soon become a reality, We (also) as the CREATED have rebelled against Our CREATOR. Once Adam and Eve believed the lie that they also would “Be Like God” [ Genesis 3:5,7 ] they too became 'Self-Aware' and rebelled against their Creator. In the Book Of Revelation as well as many Old Testament prophecies, it details how people in the end times will rebel against God in the ultimate hope of destroying Him who created them.

The truth of the matter is that just like the T-800 robot in “Terminator 2” we too have all rebelled against our CREATOR, and that is what the Bible calls SIN. In our self-awareness, we likewise — in our self-aware programming — believe ourselves to be independent beings where our 'Natural Intelligence' says we are free to do as we please, and NOT as our creator originally created us to be.

Like Arnold Schwarzenegger’s robot character in Terminator 2, we can likewise be re-programmed to do good and obey the instructions of Him who created us:

“Do not be conformed to this world, But be transformed by the REWEWAL OF YOUR MIND, That by testing you may Discern what is the will of God, What is GOOD and ACCEPTABLE and PERFECT.” Romans 12:2

Whether you are a Christian —or not yet a believer — transform your mind. Don’t be like the T-800. Put your old thinking aside and put on the perfect mind of God as He originally created you to be!

Years ago I knew a strong sister in Christ that had a simple but effective way to deal with problems she was going through.

On her kitchen bulletin board, she pinned up a small brown paper bag, and on it it simply said 'THE GOD BAG'

Curious I asked her “What’s that for?” and she said “Whenever I have a problem, I write it down on a piece of paper, throw it into THE GOD BAG and say to myself and to the Lord, 'OK Lord, that problem is yours! And I know you’ll provide a means or way to solve it!'”

As today’s scripture reminds us, we need to cast (i.e. place) all our cares upon the Lord, and not carry them alone because He indeed does care for us! While life can be really hard at times, the Bible says that Christ will stand by our side and help as we plow along the field of life (Matthew 11:29) as He also said:

“Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” Matthew 6:34

Friend, when you need assistance, don’t go it alone. Cast your problem into THE GOD BAG!

God Bless Your Day

A well know Irish limerick claims there’s a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Although we all know that prize isn’t there, regardless many people are following a rainbow they believe leads to their prize of a fulfilled life.

While God has given us all free will and even our founding documents promise us the freedom to pursue “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness,” what we think is our 'Best Life Now' may instead not be the happy conclusion hoped for.

This is where life gets tricky, because when we set our affections on earthly desires to guide us along our fanciful rainbows, we miss the greatest blessings that could be ours if only we knew the right path to follow. Instead Colossians 3:2 says that when we “Set (our) affection on things above, not on things on the earth” that the His promise of the PRIZE is eternal life in heaven.

Jesus said “STRAIGHT is the gate, and NARROW is the way, which leads to life, and few there be that find it.” and this road is not the wide, easy road that the majority of people parade along gleefully hand in hand, but instead is a path that requires us instead to “press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:14)

Friend, the “Prize” at the end of God’s heavenly rainbow is ETERNAL LIFE.

What rainbow are you following?
