There Is A God

Consider our world and how it works. The earth itself is a fantastic entity. In its enormity it revolves and orbits the moon causing day to turn to night and night to return to day with flawless timing. It is a natural system that dictates the ebb and flow of the ocean, the opening and closing of our day, and the sequence of the seasons. What about the creatures on earth? We share a commonality in that we are able to function by systems that are at work in us.  Nervous systems help our brains send signals to other parts of our body to make them work. Respiratory systems work to get oxygen to our vital organs.  Digestive systems get nutrients from our food to our blood system.  There are many other systems at work in us. All of these systems are made to work in specific ways by specific designs. Designs that we did not devise ourselves. Natural order is present all around us.  The rooster will never wake up and have beautiful plumage that it can fan out at will and the peacock will never intuitively know to announce the coming of the morning. The horse will never swim the depths of the ocean and the fish will not run at fantastic speeds.  They each follow their own design.  These designs are by nature predetermined.  Even in the fields of math and science there are principals or laws that are already set and established that cannot be defied. They dictate that certain things will always be ordered according to certain patterns and laws. For example, in math, when you add two odd numbers the answer will always be even.  In science, the law of motion states that an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an opposing force. Something amazing about the scientific laws is that most of them can be represented with a mathematical equation.  It is like each of the laws have their own personal blueprint.  We didn't create the order of these laws. They are sytematic principles that were already established.. Everything I've mentioned to this point leads to this.  Laws, systems, and order all hinge upon one thing: a pre-established design.  Designs do not create themselves.  A design is established by a designer. Order does not create itself.  Order follows rules that were created by design. Again, where there is design, there is a designer and the designer is always greater than the design.  Therefore the natural orders, natural laws, and natural systems we experience around us everyday all follow predetermined designs that were established by a designer.  Who designed them then? They are called natural because we know they are not made by man.  They could not have designed themselves. So it stands to reason that there is a master designer. A designer that is greater than math, greater than science, greater than man, and greater than nature.  That master designer is our creator. That creator is God.

Prayer:  Lord You reveal yourself to us in our everyday surroundings so we are without excuse for not believing.  Help us to see you everywhere you are. Give us eyes that see you, ears that hear you, and hearts that understand you. Amen.
