Thanks God, I Needed That

In a Reader’s Digest article, the question was asked, “Have Astronomers Found God?” The writer, a scientist, said that although he was an agnostic himself, he felt that the astronomers were being forced to consider the possibility of a divine Creator. Because of the “Big Bang” theory, there seems no alternative but to believe that there had to be a beginning moment…and beyond that moment, there had to be One who did the beginning. “In the beginning…God.” We’ve been saying that for a long time!

Personally, I don’t really care whether the scientists are the ones who discover that, or the theologians…for I have discovered that not only is there a God who started everything, but One who continues to stay with His creation, to sustain it, and work with us in our problems, and love us in our sinful condition.

No matter where I go, this great God has gone first. It was the Psalmist who said: “If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there Thy hand shall lead me, and Thy right hand shall hold me.” (Ps. 139:9,10) That’s a beautiful re-assurance!

So, today I say: “Thanks God, I needed that!”
