Weak things of the World

Poor, Unhealthy, unfortunate situations, conditions  etc. often people say it is because of the "Sin". But since our thoughts are not as God's many a times we tend to fail in understanding the whole picture.

1 Corinthians 1:18 NIV
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

For thousand of years though God has revealed himself in various ways and finally through Jesus Christ his Son. People of all ages misunderstood the concept of God. Moving from Renaissance to the Age of Reason. People thought that God could have been emerged to fill the Gaps of Doubt. The answer to the questions of Why, Why are we here, Why the Universe, etc. But their shifting lens have cracked, what they look into now is a lie, deception. Postmodern though has no place for Truth, Facts, History etc. Its how you feel it, what makes you give more pleasure etc.

The World is not enough, The Universe is Expanding: Two very important aspects that is happening now around the World. One is People moving far away from God, People moving closer to God than ever before. In a sense it all looks like the individual has the freewill to choose and there has never been a restriction from God. His Sovereign over rules everything, even the heart of man is directed by God. The illogical question would be, "If God is in control of everything, why sufferings?" because control of everything depends upon the belief and faith of everyone, we cry and suffer because it is human lives that are lost in calamities, but we also worry for the things of this World that gets destroyed. If we consider people as things and things as people, then it is our hearts that are deeply wounded and that needs remedy.

Hardening of Hearts:
It is the Heart that is Hardened that gets broken. These Broken pieces God uses to Glory his Name.

Exodus 14:4 NIV
And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he will pursue them. But I will gain glory for myself through Pharaoh and all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD." So the Israelites did this.

Blindness of Hearts:
It is by the eye of the Heart that we see the Spirit. If that eye is blinded what is the use of the natural eye that if sees or not sees anything.

2 Corinthians 4:The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 5 For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,”[a] made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.
