“Seek the LORD and His strength,
seek His face continually.
Remember His marvellous works
that He hath done, His wonders…”
Job 16:11, 12
.
Well, you have to admit it!
.
“Admit what?”, you might ask.
.
You have to admit that the so-called “Big Bang” explosion went off extremely well, especially being the product of a chaotic accident in a godless…uh…whatever!
.
After all, just look how it turned out! Extremely well!
.
For example, the resulting universe is doing pretty well, wouldn’t you agree?
.
.
For example, here we are in our solar system, which makes a wonderful and dependable time-piece! Yes, each orb in our solar-system stays pretty consistent in their rotation around the sun.
.
And speaking of luck, how about all those atoms?! Yes, this universe is made up of a whole lot of tiny electromagnets, which somehow forms everything…including we humans! Yes, pretty amazing when you think that somehow this entire universe consists of these powerful particles of energy, each holding together.
.
And isn’t it so lucky that we have our beautiful blue sky! After all, it could’ve been some horrible color. And how about those clouds?! Aren’t they great as they bring in the much-needed rain to water the earth and trees, giving drink to man and beast and all living things?
.
And how about those myriad laws which govern the universe and everything within?! Yes, it could’ve been a universe of complete chaos! Just ask any scientist why science is so enjoyable to study. He’ll tell you that science is such a thrill because of all the consistency of the laws of nature.
.
And just ask any poet about the wisdom found in nature! That poet will confess that nature is a wonderful and poetic teacher of truth!
.
And how about those babies?! Yes, isn’t it extremely lucky that babies are so cute? And even animal babies are so joyful and fun to watch!
.
And what about families?! Isn’t it so wonderful to have families who love one-another?!
.
And what about a smile?! Isn’t it so wonderful when people smile a genuine smile of friendship and/or compassion? After all, the big bang could have made us like those hideous space aliens we see in the movies!
.
And what about music?! We are extremely lucky to be able to enjoy music! And art! And poetry! And dramas!
.
And isn’t it so lucky that lightning-striking-pond-scum produced so many interesting life-forms, and so many beautiful plants and animals?! Isn’t it so lucky that nature has so many beautiful, majestic things to enjoy?!
.
And isn’t it so lucky that we humans are also the result of lightning-striking-pond-scum. And isn’t it so lucky that humans became the crowning act of the Big Bang, in that mankind has the mental capacity to explore and ponder all these wonderful accidents of nature?!
.
Well, this article could go on and on about all the so-called “lucky things” which supposedly were produced by some mindless cosmic explosion…chaos into order and design.
.
But the true reason why things turned the way they did is because they are the product of an infinite omnipotent super-mind…God! And this eternal Spirit-Being has placed mankind in a universe with countless evidences of His existence and love. And though this little planet also tells of evil, and is marred because of the consequences of sin, the goodness and love of God still shines through.

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN

HEAVENLY OBJECT LESSON
.
“Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.” Isaiah 24:23
.
When God created the Moon and the stars, He ordained them to “rule the night” (Gen. 1:16). The Moon, especially when it is full, can light your pathway through the night, as it reflects the light of the Sun.
.
So too, the Christian is to be a light to the world: to this sin-darkened world. But as the Moon must reflect the light of the Sun, in order to be a light to the world, so also must the Christian reflect the light of Jesus, to be a spiritual light to this planet in rebellion. Listen…
.
“Ye are the light of the world…Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16
.
However, during an eclipse, the Earth passes directly between the Sun and the Moon, preventing that sunlight from shining on the Moon’s face. This is an incredible object-lesson about when the child of God allows the world to come between him and his Lord. Like the eclipse, that person no longer reflects the light of Jesus, because his or her love of this dark world of sin has eclipsed the light from the “Sun of Righteousness” (see Malachi 4:2).
.
And so, this is just one of the many poetic truths seen in the Moon. (For more on this subject of an eclipse, you may link to the article… “Lunar Eclipse & Spiritual Eclipse”)
