Monday Thought -- September 10, 2012


Good Morning Friends,

“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.  Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge.  There is no speech or language where their voice is not heart.  Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.” (Psalm 19:1-4)

How do you know there is a God?

David’s answer -- Creation declares it!

Look at the clockwork that describes the movement of the earth around the sun.  We can determine our calendars by it, planning years in advance and knowing when daylight and dark will come.  Who planned in such fine detail?  Tell me there is no Master Designer!

Look at the stages of the moon and their affect upon the tides of the oceans.  Months, perhaps even years in advance, scientists can measure the tide and know when it will peak and when it will ebb.  And are we to believe that no one planned it?

Consider the fine tuning of the plant and animal kingdoms.  Each species holds its place in the circle of life.  There is balance to the world.  It has worked for thousands of years and the only thing that threatens it now is the foolishness of mankind in the way we uphold our responsibilities in the scheme of things.  The “unintelligent” life performs beautifully in keeping the world balanced.  Only “intelligent” life threatens it.  And who gave balance to the diversity of the plants and animals that make up life on planet Earth?  Surely there is Someone behind it all -- a greater Intelligence that brought it into being.

Are sophisticated and educated Americans the only ones who can see the evidence of a Creator?  Certainly not!  Every culture sees the same realities.  Every language speaks of the Creator.  Every human can see with his naked eye the evidence of design and of the Designer behind it.

The heavens declare there is a God!  It’s only the “intelligent” who sometimes can’t hear it!

His, by Grace,

Steve
