And today, there was a solar eclipse - here in southern California, the moon blocked roughly 45% of the sun.
In the path of totality in the eastern states, it will become totally dark for about 3 1/2 minutes!
And it affects humans as well as animals!
And here is what makes an eclipse possible - and is one of the proofs God created the heavens and the earth…
When the Moon comes between the Sun and Earth, it blocks the Sun entirely and perfectly - as they appear to be the exact same size! By casting a shadow on Earth it causes a solar eclipse. This is because even though the Sun is 400 times larger than the Moon, the Moon is 400 times closer to Earth!
Psalm 19:1 “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands”
How do they do that? They prove God’s design and creation!
The visible universe is so predictable that we can calculate exactly where every star, every planet, and every moon will be thousands of years from now!
How is that possible if the universe is a chaotic, random accident caused by a big explosion/bang? It is simply not possible.
In the book of Genesis we are told how and why God made the sun, stars, planets and moon…
Gen 1:16 God made the sun and the moon, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also.
Gen 1:17 God placed them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth,
Gen 1:14 .., and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years.
God made the whole universe as a big clock to mark the days, weeks, months, and years! And to give us the four seasons!
The intricate precision of the sun and the moon in their celestial dance across the sky serves as a testament to the divine craftsmanship of God, the Creator of the heavens and the earth.
Through their precise movements, fulfilling their appointed purposes without fail, the sun and the moon declare the glory and wisdom of the Creator, leaving no doubt that it is by His design that the heavens and the earth exist in perfect harmony.
The fact is - our eco system, our cells, even our DNA are irreducibly complex!
God’s glory can be seen in many different aspects of creation—not just the heavens. Consider the magnificent intricacy of a living cell, the complexity and the amazing diversity of life on earth, and the mathematical precision of the laws of physics and chemistry. These are all indicative of the incomprehensible creativity, intelligence, and power of the Creator.
Every facet of creation reveals a complexity that defies naturalistic explanations.
All creation bears the mark of irreducible complexity, serving as a profound testimony to the divine wisdom and purpose of God, the intelligent architect of all things.
Please pray with me. Almighty God, creator of the universe, we stand in awe of you! God, you created us all with purpose - we are not an accident and all of us have a calling to fulfill our mission on earth. Give us the strength to complete our ministry to all those in our tribe and circle. Fill us with your light, love, joy and peace as we serve You by serving them.
In Jesus name we pray, amen.
Be safe. Be blessed. And know you are loved and appreciated.
