S1 E12&13 "Maybe It's a Message"

     Really? This is the last post for season one already? Time has flown by. I can't lie and say I'm not glad - because I am glad. For with season two comes David Tennant! :) But before we get there, let's take a little look back, shall we?
    If you remember, my purpose for this blog was to look for God in the seemingly insignificant and to find His truths in even the corniest of places. I don't know that I've succeeded in conveying that message. I don't know if you, reader, would agree that this blog is of some value to the world. But this journey has been successful on a personal level at least. I look around now and see my God's name and hand inscribed on everything! From the twinkling of the stars millions of light-years away to the twinkle of my grandmother's eye sitting across the table, His love is plain for me to see. And the more I search - really search - the more I find Him! He's everywhere.

"The Heavens declare the glory of God..."

     The first time I watched season one of the "new" Doctor Who, I only occasionally spotted the words "Bad Wolf." And when I did, I assumed it was a coincidence, deja vu, or just weird British graffiti! I never dreamed it was on purpose and had a purpose! I didn't realize the scope and forethought of this show! (Another thing that keeps me watching;). But there it was "written all over the universe." "Across time and space." Now every time I re-watch the season, I find a new reference to Bad Wolf! It's everywhere. And I wonder how I could have missed it before?!

Bad Wolf

    Just like "Bad Wolf" was scrawled across time and space, across the universe, so God's sovereignty is scrawled across the galaxies from generation to generation! "The Heavens declare the Glory of God and the sky above proclaims His handiwork."(Psalm 19:1) It is no coincidence; this isn't deja vu. And it has a purpose: to draw us to our Creator! And just like I missed all the Bad Wolf signs, so we miss God when we're not actually looking for Him. But everything around us is crying out in an attempt to tell His story and bring Him glory - if we only pay attention."You will ... find me when you seek me with all your heart." (Jeremiah 29:13) The universe is like a giant billboard saying "God is Great! God is Good!"

Bad Wolf 

     Can I just challenge you - as I did a year ago - to seek God, to really look for Him! Like the Doctor, you're "not here by mistake." In one sense "someone's manipulating your entire life"; "manipulating", however, is a bad choice of words when describing the incessant way in which God tries to draw you to Him. From the beginning of time, He's been committed to seeing you cleansed from your sins and reunited with Him for eternity! Seriously! Let Him show you a better...no, the BEST "way of living your life!" He's left you a message  everywhere: "For what can be know about God is plain, .... For His invisible attributes, namely his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. (Romans 1:19-20) And the message is this: "I came that they may have life and have it abundantly."(John 10:10)
