This morning I am struck with the thought of the awesomeness
of God.
Here, in this country, we have the Commander in Chief; God is
the Commander in Creation!
Consider this world we live in. There is so much we do not
see, know, or understand about our world or universe. There are some who posit
this world, universe came into being by a fluke explosion somewhere back in
history. To my military mind there is too much minute integration involved in
what we do know, see, or understand. Consider how coordinated life is: Humans
breathe in oxygen, and breathe out carbon dioxide; trees, plants and grass take
in carbon dioxide and expel oxygen. If that is not a balance, I have no idea
what is.
Consider the human body. Science informs us of the materials
which make up the human body. Scientists know these materials but are not able
to put them together to create a human body. I recall a joke I heard years ago:
A consortium of scientists agreed they were now able to create a human being.
One scientist was elected to go to God and prove that God was no more relevant.
After explaining to God what they could do, God said, go ahead and show me. The
scientist reached down and grabbed a handful of dirt, and God said, get your own
dirt!
To my mind I find believing in things I have heard regarding
evolution to be impossible and improbable. Consider, we are advised that
somewhere, perhaps milions of years ago, a fish flopped up on land and developed
legs in order to walk on land. I suppose that could be believable, but consider
the intelligence of fish. Throw a hook in the water with a wiggling worm on it
and fish will grab it; oops!
Now, consider: "In the beginning God created". My mind wonders
how, a world that came from a freak explosion in nothingness is able to maintain
for all these millenia. Think about it. The One who created is able to sustain
creation. In spite of all the created beings are able to come up with to
destroy.
