Verse of the Day 9/11
Hebrews 11:3 Faith empowers us to see that the universe was created and beautifully coordinated by the power of God's words! He spoke and the invisible realm gave birth to all that is seen. The Passion Translation (TPT)
As a Christian, as one who believes that God created the heavens and the earth and all that is in them, the gift of vision is probably one of the gifts that makes me believe in creation. I am not a scientist, but I can't figure out howsight, how the eye could have just developed on it's own in animals, humans and insects. How could something so intricate develop on its own?
Faith, given by God is what helps us as Christians to understand Him, to see God in all His creation, all it's beauty; all it's majesty. We believe as David did, that we are the works of His fingers and as great and marvelous as His creation is; He cares for us, individually, and as His own.
Read the passage in Psalm 8 below. Thank Him for all that He has created and vision to see Him through His works.
Psalm 8:3-9 The Passion Translation (TPT)
3 Look at the splendor of your skies,
your creative genius glowing in the heavens.
When I gaze at your moon and your stars,
mounted like jewels in their settings,
I know you are the fascinating artist who fashioned it all!
But when I look up and see
such wonder and workmanship above,
I have to ask you this question:
4 Compared to all this cosmic glory,[a]
why would you bother with puny, mortal man
or be infatuated with Adam's sons?
5 Yet what honor you have given to men,
created only a little lower than Elohim,[b]
crowned like kings and queens[c] with glory and magnificence.
6 You have delegated to them
mastery over all you have made,
making everything subservient to their authority,
placing earth itself under the feet of your image-bearers.[d]
7–8 All the created order and every living thing
of the earth, sky, and sea—
the wildest beasts and all the sea creatures—
everything is in submission to Adam's sons.
9 Lord, your name is so great and powerful.
People everywhere see your majesty!
What glory streams from the heavens,
filling the earth with the fame of your name!
Blessings,
Mike
Hebrews 11:1-3 New King James Version (NKJV)
By Faith We Understand
11 Now faith is the [a]substance of things hoped for, the [b]evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.
3 By faith we understand that the [c]worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.
