Genisis 1:1
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."
Okay, cool. A lot of us know that verse, as it's the first verse in the Bible! I know that since I went to a private school, it was one of the first verses I ever had to memorize, and I never really gave it that much thought. God created the heavens and the earth. Cool beans.
Read it again.
Genisis 1:1
"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth."
Think about the world for a second. Think about how EXTREMELY complex it is. Now think about the universe. Think about our galaxy, and about stars. Did this really happen by accident?
Not.Likely.
So I'm reading this book right now called Crazy Love, by Francis Chan, so a lot of what I'm about to write comes from this book, just to let you know.
Caterpillars have 228 separate muscles in their head.
The average elm tree has 6 million leaves on it (that's a lot of leaves, I think).
Our own hearts generate engough pressure pumping blood that it could squirt up to 30 feet. (DISGUSTING).
Think about how diverse the earth is, and how much variety it has. There are MILLIONS of different animal species alone on this earth. Plants literally DEFY GRAVITY by bringing water upwards from the ground into their veins. How could this have happened on accident?
And think about this. When rivers flood into valleys, fields, whatever, the FISH POOP legitimately acts as a fertilizer and provides vegetation and crops.
There are so many other scientific things that I could poing out-like how complex the human eye is, and how the earth is positioned at just the right angle from the sun (or something like that). But here's the point. Stuff like this could NOT have just happened-there's something, someone greater at work. And that's Jesus. rejoice ya'll, cuz the God of the universe-who created all this INSANE stuff wants something, everything to do with you. Even when we chase after CRAAAP-be it lying, cheating, sex, drugs, idolatry, anything- He is still chasing after us. he never grows tired, which is why he tells us to find ultimate rest in Him! He is not something that ties us down, he sets us free-free from our insecurities, free from our sin. There is nothing greater than drinking the living, soul quenching water of Christ Jesus! He loves you enough to die for you! Run towards Him-and He will allow you to hunger for more every day.
Love you(:
