Psalms 139:14  I will praise Thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
marvellous are Thy works;  and that my soul knoweth right well.

I heard someone say recently that it takes more faith to believe in evolution than to believe
in the fact that God created us.  Evolution could NOT have made the intricate and complex
human body! Job 33:4 states,  The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the
Almighty hath given me life. 

Can we, with our finite minds understand the infinite workings of Almighty God!  Job 37:5
God thundereth marvellously with His voice:  great things doeth He, which we cannot
understand.  Stop trying to understand God and just start believing Him!   There is a line
in a song that says, God said it, I believe it, and that settles it for me. 

Psalms 19:1  The heavens declare the glory of God:  and the firmament sheweth
His handywork.  Niagara Falls, Angel Falls, the Grand Canyon, the Rockie Mountains,
The great Amazon River, the Northern Lights, The Milky Way, the mighty arctic glaciers,
the hidden wonders of the rain forests, the arctic tundra in all its barren beauty...Gods
handywork is all around us!  Yet, Psalms 14:1, The fool hath said in his heart, there
is no God.  Anyone, being completely honest with themselves cannot look around at
creation and deny the Creator! 

I Sing The Mighty Power Of God

 

I sing the mighty power of God, that made the mountains rise;

That spread the flowing seas abroad, and built the lofty skies.

I sing the wisdom that ordained, the sun to rule the day;

The moon shines full at His command, and all the stars obey.

 

I sing the goodness of the Lord, That filled the earth with food;

He formed the creatures with His Word, and then pronounced them good.

Lord, how Thy wonders are displayed, where ere I turn my eye;

If I survey the ground I tread, or gaze upon the sky!

 

There is not a plant or flower below, but makes Thy glories known;

And clouds arise and tempests blow, by order from Thy throne.

While all that borrows life from Thee is ever in Thy care,

And everywhere that man can be, Thou God, art present there.
