God Has Spoken

What about the order of the stars and the planets? The nation of Israel once had a great king called David. He wrote many songs. Here are words from one song:

The heavens declare [tell] the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork (Psalm 19:1).

King David was right. If our sun (just one of billions of stars) is so powerful, how much more powerful is the One who made all suns! He is even called “the Father of lights” (James 1:17)!

Yet the sun’s strength is strictly controlled. If the earth changed its course even a little, all life on our planet would end. Everything is in perfect place for life to exist on this earth. Such careful design in every detail must have a Builder! But we have not yet mentioned the man and woman, with their children, who live in this amazing home. The brain of even the smallest child has many more active parts than all the stars the eye sees at night! Our minds work with great thoughts. Our eyes see beauty in living colors. The human spirit has power to choose and to love. Our hearts reach high in praise and worship. King David thought about his own body and soul. He realized how well God had worked. So he praised God with this song:

I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well (Psalm 139:14).

David wrote in the Hebrew language. In that language he actually said, “My soul knows it very well.” The person who pretends there is no God and no soul is like a mouse eating bread in the dark. With its mouth full, the mouse announces, “I do not believe there is a baker. I do not believe there is such a thing as grain for making bread, for I have never seen these things.” We stand on the evidence! The proof is all around us and within us! The Bible describes those who refuse to see it:

For although they knew God, they did not honor [respect] him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile [empty] in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools (Romans 1:21-22).
