Poem Title:
Poem
Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. I feel the wind gusting across my skin, lifting my hair. Unseen but I can feel the evidence of the wind and see it in the gentle sway of the meadow grass. I choose to believe, daily, to have faith in God, like the unseen wind. I've been given answers to most of my questions through study and the Holy Spirit. I leap upon any assumed discrepancy or contradiction I come across. I've found real, solid answers. Each thorny question has been untangled, making the path ahead ever sure. One of my main questions when I began searching was, “Why does scientific fact contradict the Bible?” The answer is…it doesn't. People are fallible and therefore our understanding can be mistaken. Interpreting the Scriptures is necessary… Just as in poetry there is symbolism and there are phrases that should be taken literally and others figuratively. After all, God is the creator, the master scientist and artist. The laws of science we understand today, and those we will only discover tomorrow, were God's laws first! When God formed woman it says he took the rib from Adam. Rib in the original Hebrew is translated from a word that means, “curve.” We know now that gender is determined in utero through DNA, a pattern on the helix CURVE. I don't believe God created a female from Adam's rib,but that he took the female DNA from Adam, and formed Eve. Science isn't new to God, we are new to science! Finally, not only is faith based on knowledge, understanding, choice, and the evidence of things unseen... it is a matter of the heart. I believe in God, Jehovah, I feel his love for me in each sunrise, in the feel of my daughter's hand on my face, in the embrace of my husband. I feel that love reflecting off of me, giving me so much love for my fellowman. I believe in God because I've seen the evidence of the things I hoped for. God has shown himself to me, allowing me to understand the love letter he wrote to us, in my heart, my mind, in my body and soul.
