Encouragement for New Believersনমুনা

Here’s something amazing: without the moon, we couldn’t live on Earth. If the moon were moved from its orbit, all life would stop. The moon helps clean the oceans and shores. Without the tides it creates, our harbours and shores would become full of garbage, making it impossible to live nearby. The tides also keep ocean water moving, which provides oxygen for plankton. Plankton are the base of our food chain. Without them, there would be no oxygen, and all life would end.

God is a creative genius, isn’t He? He made the moon the right size and placed it the right distance from the earth to create the exact atmosphere we need. We live within a great ocean of air—78 percent nitrogen, 21 percent oxygen. These elements are continually mixed by the tidal effect of the moon upon the atmosphere.

This has the same effect it has upon the seas, and always provides the same proportion of oxygen. Though we keep dumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, it’s absorbed into the ocean and we’re able to continue to live. If the atmosphere wasn’t as thick as it is, we’d be crushed by billions of pieces of cosmic debris and meteorites that fall continually upon our planet.

Who takes good care of you? God! And He’s on the job 24/7! Aren’t you glad?
