THERE IS A GOD

The fool has said in his heart, there is no God. (Psalm 14-1)

Ninety three million miles from the blistering surface of the sun hangs the planet Earth. A rotating sphere perfectly suspended in the center of the universe. The ultimate creation from an infinite mind. An unbelievably intricate complex design. A supernatural testimony, an irrefutable sign. That there is a God. The size, position and angle of the earth is a scientific phenomenon to see. A few degrees closer to the sun we'd disintegrate, a few degrees further we'd freeze. The axis of the earth is tilted at a perfect 23-degree angle and it's no mistake that it is. This allows equal global distribution to the rays of the sun making it possible for the food chain to exist.

Or take for example the combination of nitrogen and oxygen in atmosphere we breathe every day. It just happens to be the exact mixture that life needs to prosper, it doesn't happen on any other planet that way. You see, the Bible say the invisible things of God are clearly seen through His creation, to believe this is not hard. If there's a design, there's a designer, if there's a plan, there's a planner, and if there is a miracle, there is a God. There is a hope. There is a light. There is an answer to all answers. There is a flame that burns in the night. And I know, I know, I know there is a God. The scripture says the heavens declare the glory of God and the skies proclaim the work of His hands. If we allow our minds to drink in all the truth that just surrounds us, creation itself will help us understand. Did you know the moon controls the tides, it's the maid that cleans the oceans, and even the waves don't crash the shores in vain. The tides drag impurities into the depths of the sea, its nature's constant recycling chain. It simply boggles the mind to think that the stars will rotate with such exact precision that it's true.

The atomic clock with an error factor of less than three seconds per millennium is set by the way they move. Though they silently orbit, the sun, the moon, the stars are like celestial evangelists above whom circle the earth every 24+ hours shouting in every language that there is a God.

Atheism is the wedge under the foundation of our faith trying to topple our relationship with Christ. When the fool said in his heart, there is no God, he rejects the truth God painted on the canvas of the night. Atheism has never created an artistic masterpiece, never healed a fatal disease or calmed a fear. Atheism has never given answers to our existence; peace to a troubled mind or even dried a tear. For it is God who created heaven and earth and flung the stars in space and breathed in the handful of dirt and it became a man. It's God who sits on the circle of the earth and measures the mountains in a scale, and holds the seven seas in the palm of his hand. It's God who sent His only begotten Son to the cross of Calvary to save our souls from hell and the grave. It's God who creates, God who delivers, God who heals, and God who is worthy of a thunderous ovation of praise. There is hope. There is a light. There is an answer to all answers. There is a flame that burns in the night. And I know, I know, I know "There is a God!"
