strength of man and the Power Of God

The strength of man is found in the details. As they say the devil is in the details and I guess that can be true in more than one way. How does man make it to the moon and back, by looking at every single angle and possibility. How does someone control a whole country, by looking at the details.

The power of God is found in the impossibilities. How does a hardened criminal really change? How does a political pressure push the English government to provide money to free seven hundred thousand slaves? How does a church grow in the midst of the harsh punishment?

I'm not saying that the strength of man is wrong it is just a very powerful tool that has been given and like anything that is powerful it can be used for great good or great evil, and it turns out that is one of the closest things that we can get to be God with out God so Satan uses every attempt to control it. I do believe if we could get our act together down here we would explore the stars using both our own strength and the power of God, but God has his own plans. I guess the idea is to some how find a way to make the two live in peace. This proves to be the a very hard thing considering if you think about this for a bit it turns out to be Christianities struggle since Constantine gave freedom to Christians. How do we merge church and state?

I guess the only solution I can give you is one you can't put in rule books or tell to someone about where they sit in the power tree. Do as much as you can for God and trust God with the rest. I guess thats it Jesus came to destroy to rule book, because it enslaves people.

Doing the better thing always proves to be an uphill battle by your self because it disobeys all the laws of nature.
