God’s Will: Understanding Man & Nature

In the name of God, Master of the Universe Ruler of the earth

Greetings Brethren,

Peace be unto you. To the Church and believing Christians everywhere. To those that believe in the Bible as the supreme authority that governs all of humankind. In this we give thanks to God the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit that leads and guides us the straightway.

Beloved moving by inspiration as I conversed with my beloved son in the Gospel I saw Heaven. Realizing that we (the saints of God that move in righteousness) have power we looked out upon yonder lake. The trees lined the lake at every bend and corner however we had no power to pull them up by their roots. But there is the power to reason this is where the miraculous lingered.

Looking now to understand the earth it’s people and the things that surround all human beings we, I pondered. What is God’s will? Is man outside of God’s will? Does nature and the creatures of the forest exist in complete harmony with the elements and the land? What of the people?

Assigning Life To Things That Move & Stand Still

Resting in solitude one day I was stricken by

the human presence to my writing place along

Stewart’s Creek. This I knew for sure was an

intrusion as I slowed in my writing posture as

my thoughts were halted and my inspiration waned.

If I had come to this place contemplating this

fleshly invasion I would have been prepared.

However, I sought out my rock enclave or my

rock seat by the creek for peace found among

the elements. Then I felt the Wind.

I have written as I have seen and felt no threat

to inspiration by the creatures that swim in the

creek or from the birds that fly over head and

rest in the trees. Nor from that deer that came

to drink who was startled by my presence.

However man taints the environment and brings

havoc to the elements. Man is often then outside

the will of God. Well then can you best understand

the human species and human behavior by drawing

lines as parallels with the elements and the lower animals?

I heard John say that a clear way to understand many

motivations of the human being is by looking first at that

rabbit. He harmed nothing as he came not to disrupt the

environment. The birds ate from the fields as God has

provided seed in the grass that the human eyes cannot see.

Thus, the existence of the creatures of the wild exist as

God would have them to exist. However, man often changes

their habitat and throws a human wrench into the eco-system

and goes against the will of God as to what He has designed

for all that He has created.

So then can we come to classify certain behavior of the

human being? Is there a behavior of the things that seem not

to move? I saw a deer run through the field to the wooded

area deep in the forest as he escaped the hunter’s deer stand.

I also saw the geese fly over head with their designated leader.

Is it God’s will for man to harm and disrupt nature? The seasons

will never change nor will there cease to be a time for planting

and the harvesting of crops. Lurking behind every tree that

they leaned on the animals lower did not think. But they acted

in God’s will.

Is the ability to think then the obstacle to being inside of the

Spirit? No and yes as some function in His will and other’s

choose not to. But just what can be ascertained by looking at

life, the earth, the universe the cosmos in this way? Many

things move and stand still.

We also come with a testimony that man lingers in much

confusion as he passes by the road kill that he cared nothing

about. He also looked down in abject confusion at the fish

that swim in many streams and waters as the wind is pure

and the water is fresh and virgin in every way.

Meanwhile we see the elements telling us as sure as the Wind

wet my face that God sends all things and stands by His Will.

Will man then be held accountable for his attempts to exist

outside His will? I felt sunshine in the rain. I also relished and

embraced the air that surrounds me at all times.

God moves thus not in great mysteries as many imagine. I watched

the rising and setting of the Sun. I also knew that light came before

the Sun. The darkness gave way to light but it still rested upon all

things. Man came to reason and was tempted by the serpent.

The innocence of man that God created them became challenged.

Peace and Paradise,

Dr. Carl A. Patton writing for the FreedomJournal Press 29 November 2009 in the year of our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.
