Encouragement for New Believers

DAY 21 OF 30

Contrary to what many believe, science and Scripture can actually agree. More scientists who believe in the Bible have emerged, especially since the discovery of quantum physics, which shows the amazing order and symmetry in the universe. Did you know that one of the most important scientific books, Cosmos, Bios, Theos (which means Universe, Life, and God), was written by sixty well-known scientists, including twenty-four Nobel Prize winners?

One of the authors, Yale physicist Professor Henry Margenau, says there is only one convincing explanation for the complex laws of nature. And what does he think it is? Evolution? Coincidence? No! Margenau believes that "creation is by an all-powerful, all-knowing God."

So, believing in God means believing in both science and the unfailing Word of God. The Bible says: "The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth… He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak… those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." (Isaiah 40:28–31 NIV)

This means that through prayer, you can connect with the greatest power and most loving care in the universe. Amazing! How you face each day depends on who you look to. So look to God. Trust Him.. "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed." (Proverbs 16:3 NIV)
