Hanging on nothing

Hanging on nothing

“He spreads out the northern  skies  over empty space; he suspends the earth over nothing.” 
                                             Job26:7                                                                                    .
Job to my mind had to have insight from God. He realized that the earth was if you will hovering over nothing.
Job was not a scientist yet he realized that the earth hung in space.
I enjoy science and in particularly astronomy. I watch with interest the space program. The latest pictures from Pluto fascinated me.
I remember as a teenager watching Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walk on the moon for the first time.
As I look back at pictures of that day. Of the bulky space suites they had to wear just to survive on the moon, I’m reminded that we here on earth are blessed.
Scientist tell us that the earth is at the perfect place not only in the solar system but in the galaxy as a whole. Everything around the earth from the sun to the moon, the stars and a myriad of other factors are in prefect balance allowing life to exist.
I cannot believe this is by chance. There has to be a creator. The Bible tells me,
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” 
                                                                                              Genesis 1:1.
I know it takes a leap of faith on my part. But to my way of thinking believing that things came together by chance takes more faith.
I see a mathematically perfect universe from the biggest Galaxy to the smallest subatomic particle all are in prefect order.
I also believe that the God who created it all loved man so much that he entered his creation in the form of Jesus.
The gospel of John stating,
“In the beginning was the Word,(Jesus) and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  
He was with God in the beginning. 
Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.  
In him was life, and that life was the light of men.... 
He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.  
He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.  
Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—  children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. 
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth
                                                                                   John 1:1-4,10-14.
I believe God gave man a freewill to do and believe what he wanted. That freedom in order to be truly free had to extend to the point of believing whether or not God exists.
So what do you believe?
Please think about it.
