Scripture:
In the recent storm we had I was awe struck by the raw power it held. Lightning flashed so frequently that we had a steady light flashing like a strobe light in our bedroom. The wind and rain just hammered down around us. I found it amazing that a tornado swept over a hundred fifty miles across multiple states. It spanned between one mile and one and one half mile wide. The devastation it brought was immense. Man can hardly compare to what nature can do.
How much more is God the creator than his creation? Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” As God asked Job He asks us who do we think we are to question Him. Can we answer the questions God asked Job? Scientists like to believe they can but the truth is we cannot. We attempt to understand and control weather. Yet it remains out of our grasp. We try to understand the mysteries of the universe and explore the reaches of outer space. Yet we only glimpse a small fraction of what is out there.
Look at the size of a person compared to the size of the earth. Compare the size of the earth to the size of the sun. Compare our sun to another star that is two hundred sixty five times larger than our own sun. It is known as R136a1. Just imagine that God just spoke and created the expanse of space. Genesis 1:16 “God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.”
We are sinners and to think otherwise is to deny God and say it is all a lie. Then the bible has no meaning it becomes just another book. Can you speak the stars and heavens into being? Can you create by just a word? God did that and more. The truth is the bible is the word of God and it is truth. In 1 John we are told that God will forgive us our sins if we confess them; 1 John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” We are made new in Christ purified and made righteous. In Christ’s death and resurrection we are given a new birth. Our relationship with Him is restored.
