Hebrews 11:3
DEVOTION FOR TODAY, February 4, 2020
“By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.”
Does anyone look at a tree and question the miracle of a seed? It is hard to understand how people can look out at the beauty of this world and question the existence of God. We don’t need to see the roots of the tree to believe that they are there. Who would insist on digging in the ground to see if the roots really do exist? It is enough to see the tree stand tall, and taste its fruit. If a person thinks that is elementary and simple, then so is faith.
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Those are the first words of the Bible. The important thing for us to know is not all the details of “how” the world was created, but “who” created it.
We can have all the theories we want, but not one of them changes a simple truth: God did it; He took chaos and made this wonderful world. Just think what He can do with the chaos of our life. We are saved not because of who we are, or what we have done; but because of who Jesus is, and what he did on the old rugged cross. Can we believe it?
“Something beautiful, something good
All my confusion He understood
All I had to offer Him was brokenness and strife; but he made something beautiful of my life…”
Grace and Peace, Rev Ray
