Finding Reliable Evidence As I Come To Believe

 Creation suggests that there is an intelligent creator.  The laws of gravity, the dependence of earth’s ecosystems on one another, and the planetary systems in the sky give us proof that there is an amazing designer behind life here on earth.  We see a code of morals and values that points us to a higher power who establishes boundaries and helps us identify evil when individuals and groups go beyond the set boundaries.  Our own bodies are intricate and function with amazing complexity.  We are not just a body but have a soul and a spirit as well.  

The following statement is a quote by Albert Einstein: "There is a real external world that is orderly and knowable, and the trustworthiness of our minds to grasp that world – science cannot proceed apart from these assumptions." 

For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky.  Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature.  So they have no excuse for not knowing God.  (Romans 1:20 NLT)

 Step 2 of the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous invites us to “come to believe that a power greater than ourselves can restore us to sanity.”  The good news is, the all-powerful God who created us and the amazing world in which we live, loves and cares about each one of us.  If He is sought, He promises to help us.  

Let’s determine today to get to know this amazing God so that we may overflow with hope for our future.

 When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers—the moon and the stars you set in place—what are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them? (Psalm 8:3-4 NLT)

Prayer:  Gracious God, The evidence in what I see all around me confirms that You truly are an amazing creator.  I want to get to know You more.  Help me to come to believe that You are a power greater than myself who can restore me to sanity.  Amen
