Order out of Chaos....

When we were children, we would go to beach and spend hours toiling over sandcastles. Older people build houses. And for either activity, we use our hands and back and the sweat of our brow. Yet in our creation, there is imperfection. The sandcastles always get washed away and buildings don't last forerever. But our God created a world that has lasted millions of years and the amazing part is that He brought the whole world into being by just speaking! He said "Let there be light" and behold, there was Light! Like magic isn't it? Except that magic is a rather inadequate word to explain such a wondrous act of creation. Who, but our Lord could separate the heavens from the earth? Who but our Lord could bind the seas and oceans and command them not to cross their boundaries into the land? Who but our Lord could create that amazing force called Gravity that makes sure we all stay put and don't float off into space? Who but our Lord could create millions of stars, planets, whole galaxies and yet, lovingly call each star by name? Who, but our Lord? The answer is NONE ELSE. With our Lord, nothing is impossible AND impossible is nothing!

Something out of Nothing????

Imagine.....nothing. Yes, that's what I said...imagine a state where nothing exists...not even darkness...there is just, simply NOTHING! Difficult huh? The human mind does not know how to imagine a state of 'nothingness' because it doesn't know how to comprehend it. This, is the limitation of human thought and intelligence. Genesis says, God created out of nothing. HE knows what 'nothing' looked like! And out of this mysterious 'nothing', he created everything we see today - the land, the se, the skies, the flora, fauna, people.....everything, out of nothing!

We have a God who has a conception of things our minds can never grasp. He knows wonderful, amazing things that we could never understand even in a million lifetimes. When such an Omniscient, wise God who knows EVERYTHING there is to know about the past, the present and the future is looking out for us, isn't it funny the way we don't trust him with our tomorrows? Think about it........
