The Heavens Declare

The heavens declare

“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
                                                                                                                                      Psalm 19:1
The other day I looked through a microscope at a leaf and marvelled at the intricacy of it.
A short time later I looked at pictures taken by the Hubble space telescope and marvelled at the immensity and complexity of the heavens.
When I look at the smallest things known to man and the largest expanse I see the handy work of God.
I see a universe in perfect balance. I see the planet on which we live perfectly suited for life as we know it.
Our planet just happens to lie in what some scientist call the goldilocks zone. The perfect distance from our star to support life.
I can’t believe this is simply chance. There, to my mind, has to be a creator.
I firmly believe that given time and an open mind scientist will one day discover beyond a doubt evidence of God meanwhile we must believe in God by faith.
Faith defined by the writer of Hebrews as,
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for 
and certain of what we do not see.  
This is what the ancients were commended for.” 
                                                                                   Hebrews 11:1,2
God wants us to look around, assess what we see in nature and in the heavens. He wants us to examine all he crated. Then, after noting how magnificent it is. How perfect it is, make that leap of faith, concluding there is truly a creator.
Hebrews noting,
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.  
This is what the ancients were commended for."
                                                                                                            Hebrews 11:1,2
Are you willing to make that leap of faith?
Take time to examine the world around you and think about it.
