Have you ever seen a bumper sticker that goes like “God said it, I believe it, that settles it”? This statement seems to be from a non-thinking follower of God that blindly does what they think God says. This type of person worries me because they could follow anyone they think is speaking for God.
It could be the person driving the car has a profound faith and trust in God. They have lived a long life relying on God’s provision and they have never been disappointed with the way God handles things.
A few weeks ago I read Genesis 1 again. One the surface, this seems like an account of the beginning of the world. The problem with this conclusion is Genesis 1 says nothing about the scientific or historical details of creation. It does say a ton about the nature of God.
Eight times there is the statement “God said…and there was”. I have made a number of things in my life, but never has something come into existence because I said so. It was always been with much work and effort. These simple statements about God in Genesis 1 are enough reason for the follower of God to worship Him and Him alone for the rest of their life.
