Change Your Destiny

Last week I briefly mentioned the law of gravity.  This law simply tells us, “What goes up must come down.”  I’ve believed in the law of gravity ever since I learned it in elementary school science. And then I moved to Shellman Bluff and started playing golf at Sapelo Hammock Golf Course.  And more than once I have watched balls fly into trees on that course and never come down.  I’m not kidding. They get caught up in the Spanish Moss and do not fall to the ground.  For the uniformed, that means a one stroke penalty with a dropped ball.  Like I said. I used to believe gravity was always true.

            Recently I was shown a video of a young lady (sorry, but it was a woman) who said, and I quote, “I believe we would be just as well off if Isaac Newton had never invented gravity.  After all, do we really need gravity? I believe we could live without it.”

            Your first response is likely to laugh. But then you stop. When you think about it with care you realize that this person is eligible to vote, likely drives on the street, and may even have a child one day.  And you wonder to yourself, “Are we all doomed?”

            The truth is that all of us have said or done something that we are very grateful was not recorded and posted to social media.  I shudder to think that every deed I’ve done or every word I’ve said would be available for anyone to see or read.

            But then I stop and remember this. God sees and hears and knows it all.  He does not need a phone camera, doesn’t have to look on Facebook, and He still knows all that I say and do. And He loves me anyway.  How grateful I am for the marvelous and wonderful love of God.  Without it I would be doomed. With it I have hope for all eternity. I hope that you know the precious love of God. It will change your life. It will change your destiny.
