Our Great God!

Psalm 19: 1-4

The Heavens proclaim the glory of God, the skies display His craftsmanship. Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make Him known. They speak without a sound or word, their voice is never heard. Yet their message has gone throughout the Earth, and their words to all the World.

O my precious Father God, You are truly the magnificent sovereign potentate of all the Universe You have created! Your wisdom and understanding have set all the stars in place on their courses.

Yet the wicked still walk in total darkness. Proverbs 4:19 says, The way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know what makes them stumble. They don't recognize that their very premise that they start on is faulty, and so they continue on in their scientific studies on a wrong track, and totally miss God's Truth.

Jesus tells us in Matthew 6: 22-23, The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes (sight) are good, your whole body is full of light. But if your eyes (sight) are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness! 

If what you consider is light, is understanding, is wisdom, is actually darkness, error, deception; then that darkness will act like light, in dispelling its opposite, truth, and deepening the error. You will continue to be deceived, believing the lie of Evolution instead of the Truth of Creation, and you will base all the rest of your life on this faulty premise. Then when things don't turn out well, you'll have no idea how things went wrong, you'll not see what tripped you. 

So I suggest you go back to the beginning of God's Word, read in Genesis, the beginnings of everything, and believe what God said there. Then go on to the Gospels, the Good News of how Jesus fulfilled all the Old Testament Law, beginning with the first sacrifice Leviticus (the book of sacrifices) records first in chapter 1, the personal sacrifice. Jesus died personally for each of us (because we have all sinned and deserve death) for Salvation. He also fulfilled the Corporate sacrifice, to purchase us all as His possession; as our Owner He is our rightful Judge.

God planned it all out before He even began to Create. The Godhead agreed that the Second Person would be the One to deal with this race of Mankind that He would make, and be the One to redeem us with His own Life, given as our Substitute, as that animal did in Leviticus 1. That's how much He loves us, and wants us to be with Him forever, where He lives (see John 17:24, in His High-Priestly Prayer). 

My dear Father, thank You so much for giving us Your written Word, to tell us everything that happened in the past, and to lay out all that Jesus, Your Messiah to us, would do, to show us Your love, and to rescue us from ourselves. 

You are Great, our Almighty God, Who showed us Your Wisdom in Creating all that exists, and Your Love put Order into the Chaos, so we would see Your Beauty in all the climates and environments You made. Everything I see shows me Your Majesty, my Lord, and prompts me to worship You in Your Goodness and Graciousness and Mercy and great Love that You have lavished on me.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
