Life With God In Recovery Random Or Rational
Did life as we know it today come about through a series of random acts of fate? What keeps the delicate balance of life steady in the solar system as well as around us – just a lucky day held together by a fortunate lining up of powerful forces? The Bible says that God created the world and sustains it by His power.
He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together. There is one God, the Father, by whom all things were created, and for whom we live. And there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things were created, and through whom we live. (Colossians 1:17, 1 Corinthians 8:6 NLT)
Scientists say: We never observe orderliness occurring by accident, without an intelligent cause to direct the order. No amount of power or energy is enough to bring order out of chaos. The earth's rotation, the moon cycle, and the changing seasons are just a few of the ordered processes observable in nature. Are these processes random happenings or are they divinely caused and sustained by God?
The earth is located the right distance from the sun to sustain life. If it were any further away from the sun, we would all freeze. Any closer, and we would burn up. The Earth remains this perfect distance from the sun while it rotates around the sun at a speed of nearly 67,000 mph. It is also rotating on its axis at 1,040 mph, allowing the inhabitants of the earth to experience sunrises and sunsets every day. Random or intelligent design?
Prayer: God of all Creation, I praise You that before the world began You had a plan and that plan included my life. When things around me are not perfect and it is hard for me to believe You are still in control, please help me overcome my unbelief. Amen
