       Let’s look at some of the problems facing our world today. For one, there is always the threat of nuclear war, right? Many major countries have nuclear weapons, including unstable and untrustworthy ones like North Korea. Right now, the United States isn’t on the best terms with Russia, the former Soviet Union. Then there is always the threat of terrorism, though, the government has done a good job at warding off terrorist plots. Oh, and then there is the threat to our own personal health. Cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, or even Ebola can and do threaten people’s lives. In light of all the threats to our existence and things that would degrade our existence, I am so glad that I, personally, believe in God. I don’t know what I would think or do, if I didn’t believe in him. I would imagine that I would probably spend a lot of time worrying about things that I shouldn’t worry about. I would worry about the things I just mentioned when there really is no need to worry. It’s not that bad things can’t happen, it’s just that I know that God is in control. I can rest assured that no matter what happens, God’s got my life in his hands. But I also know that most people don’t have this assurance of mind. Most people think it is up to human wisdom to stop the world’s problems, to stop nuclear war, or to stop the spread of diseases like Ebola.
