A Matter of Faith

A matter of Faith.
The Psalmist writes,

“The heavens declare the glory of God; 

the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” 

                                                       Psalm 19:1.

We may not be able to see God but that does not mean he does not exist. Astronomers have for a long time theorised that black holes exist yet they could not see them. They realized that black holes existed because of what they observed.
So it is with God. We only have to look around us to realize that this world, this universe we live in has to have a creator.
As I have said many times in my blogs over the years I cannot believe that the universe in which we live just formed from randomness. There has to be a creator behind it all.
We live in a part of the universe that has been called the “goldilocks zone”. An area of the universe that is just right for life as we know it to exist.
Whether there are more of these zones within our universe is irrelevant  to my belief in God.
The key to my believing in God is my faith.
Just like Albert Einstein and many other scientist went to the grave believing in their theories. So it is with believers in Christ Jesus.
Believers in Christ Jesus are willing to go to their graves believing they will meet God after they pass from this world.
Thus my question to you is do you believe in God?
The writer of the book of Hebrews states,

“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for

 and certain of what we do not see.”  

                                       Hebrews 11:1

“And without faith it is impossible to please God, 

because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists

 and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” 

                                                                            Heb

An Invisible Player

An Invisible Player
Albert Einstein said,
“Human beings vegetables  or cosmic dust. We all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible player.”  Albert Einstein 
Stephen Hawking noted,
“It would be very difficult to explain why the universe should have begun in just this way, except as the act of a God who intended to create beings like us,”Stephen Hawking,
Dr. Arno Penzias 1978 Nobel Prize winner in Physics has stated,
“Astronomy leads us to a unique event, a universe which was created out of nothing, one with a very delicate balance needed to provide exactly the conditions required to permit life and one which has an underlying (one might say ‘supernatural’) plan.” Dr. Arno Penzias.
The Bible States,

“In the beginning

God created the heavens and the earth.” 

                                                 Genesis 1:1.

The New Testament states,
“In the beginning was the Word, 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....
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 1:1-4,14.
It has been my observation over the years that the one thing scientist and people of faith have in common is faith.
A scientist will study something carefully, come up with a theory as to how it works or was created, then even if at the time he or she cannot prove it, will believe in that theory until it has been proven or proved to be wrong.
Eienstein is a good example some of his theories were not proven correct until after his death.
Scientist also have another thing in common with people of faith. They study their subject carefully to see they have got everything right.
For me, a believer in Christ Jesus that means I study the Bible, both Old Testament and New Testament and the world around me in order to see if my belief in God is correct.
The Psalmist wrote,

“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 heard.” 

                                                                               Psalm 19:1-3.

This statement is proven by many scientist that have studied the world around them. The world, the universe we live in has a creator.
Still having said this, I believe each individual needs to be looking for God in order to find him. Faith in God is just that an act of faith. Which is what God wants. The writer of Hebrews telling us,

“And without faith it is impossible to please God,

 because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists 

and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” 

                                                                               Hebrews 11:6.

Please think about it.
