Why Opt God

I came upon a newspaper article that talks about getting old, losing things acquired through years of hard work, losing mental dexterity, and suffering from chronic physical ailments. It says something like if you loose everything, there's one thing that you won't loose, God.

Maybe, some people opt for God because God serves them what they want or need.  In the same way we choose a book to read. We read those that give us answers, whether it's a book on The Most Effective Slimming Diet or a DIY on Replacing a Flat Tire.

Growing old might be very difficult. I guess one thing people do in there lifetime is to gain things, establish some source of income so they can survive with less worries.  It would be hard to explain if there are people who would choose otherwise, and opt instead to worry where to get food or where to sleep on a day to day basis.  But what if we loose all these things? The money, the strength of the mind and body, the people we knew? What if we're about to loose our lives, the sole reason of our existence and everything. Who would give us comfort? There has always been a need for this kind of security, something or someone that will say it's gonna be okay. Maybe, there aren't a lot of options. Science offers us medicine and ways to improve health and quality of life which includes antidepressants and sedatives that would keep us from pain and apprehension, but it also tells us what we already know, that death is inevitable and there's nothing we can do about it.  The other option might be, what one may say,  too good to be true. A lifetime of happiness.  God gives us security and Salvation. 
 
 Whether God exists or not, or whether or not it's the best option to believe in God, we choose.
