Belief in God

Belief in God
Isaiah the Prophet wrote,

“A voice says, “Cry out.” 

And I said, “What shall I cry?” 

“All men are like grass,

 and all their glory is like the flowers of the field. 

The grass withers and the flowers fall, because the breath of the LORD blows on them. 

Surely the people are grass. 

The grass withers and the flowers fall, 

but the word of our God stands forever.” 

                                                       Isaiah 40:6-8.

The Psalmist writes,

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; 

all who follow his precepts have good understanding. 

To him belongs eternal praise.” 

                                         Psalm 111:10

The writer of Proverbs states,

“Do not be wise in your own eyes; 

fear the LORD and shun evil.” 

                                         Proverbs 3:7.

Not surprising the Bible that was written to believers in God, believes there is an almighty eternal God that we should trust and worship.
By contrast there are those in the world who say there is no God.
To my way of thinking someone who thinks there is no God, is someone who thinks they are all knowing or fails to look around them and see the facts.
A believer in God can say as the Psalmist does,

“The heavens declare the glory of God; 

the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” 

                                              Psalm 19:1.

A believer in God can point to science and say that the universe from the largest galaxy to the smallest subatomic particle and everything in between is so perfectly in tune with each other that it allows life as we know it to exist.
To say the universe simply assembled itself out of chaos caused by the big bang is if you think about it a great leap of faith.
Those of us who believe in God can actually point to the big bang and say God used it to create the universe. After all the Bible states,

“In the beginning God created 

the heavens and the earth.” 

                                 Genesis 1:1.

To me as a Christian, God starting the universe with the “big bang” as scientist call it seems logical. How long it took to get from the moment of creation to where we are today is immaterial to my faith.
It matters little to my faith if the universe as we know it was created by God over billions of years or in six twenty-four hour days.
The fact is I believe God exists and that He created the heavens and the earth. To say otherwise does not make sense to me.
And I believe good science is on my side.
The choice however is up to you the reader for ultimately there is a faith factor in believing in God. Just as there is a faith factor is saying God does not exist.
No one living to day was there on the day of creation thus we have,
1/ The Bible telling us there is a God.
2/ The Bible stating, “in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
3/ Science telling us that the universe had a beginning.
4/ Science indicating that the universe is precisely tuned to allow life as we know it to exist.
The choice however is up to you the reader. That being said consider this. Blaise Pascal wrote this about believing in God. He said,
“Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.” Blaise Pascal.
Please think about it.
