DNA SINGS PRAISE TO THE CREATOR

 

DNA SINGS PRAISE TO THE CREATOR The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. Without speech or language, without a sound to be heard, their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. Psalm 191:1-4 Creation is not chaos stitched together by chance. It is ordered, precise, and structured by an unseen language of mathematics. And because mathematics is also the foundation of music, creation itself is often far more musical than we realize. Christians should think carefully before dismissing biblical passages that speak of all creation praising its Creator. Those words may be far more literal than we assume. In a striking example, a geneticist studying DNA noticed that the sequence of its chemical bases follows patterns similar to musical composition. He assigned musical notes to the four bases and began translating genetic sequences into sound. What emerged was not random noise or dull repetition. Each gene produced its own distinct and coherent melody. Some gene sequences sounded structured and intricate like Bach. Others carried the impressionistic feel of Debussy. A mouse gene involved in RNA even echoed the style of Chopin. Far from disorder, the genetic code revealed harmony, variation, and intentional structure. As our understanding of creation deepens, so does the testimony to God’s wisdom and power. From the vastness of the cosmos to the microscopic language of DNA, creation does not whisper by accident. It proclaims by design. Truly, every part of creation sings praise to its Creator. The only question left is whether we will join the song.

A STRONG HEART

 

A STRONG HEART Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, And He will strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD! Psalm 27:14 Wait! Wait! Let your waiting be on the Lord! He is worth waiting for, and He never lets down those who wait for Him. As you wait, keep your spirits up. Expect a great deliverance and be ready to praise God for it when it comes. The promise that should lift you up is found in the middle of the verse—“He shall strengthen your heart.” This promise addresses exactly where you need help. If your heart is strong, the rest of your being will work properly. The heart needs calming and cheering, and both will come if it’s strengthened. A strong heart brings rest, joy, and vitality to the whole person. No one else can reach the secret core of life, the heart, and pour strength into it, as God can. God is full of strength, so He is able to share it with those who need it. Be brave! The Lord will strengthen you, and you will find peace in the storm and joy in the midst of sorrow. We can say with the psalmist David “Wait, I say, on the Lord.” I do indeed say it. My long and deep experience has shown me that it’s good to wait upon the Lord. By Charles H. Spurgeon

RESTORATION OF EDEN

RESTORATION OF EDEN REVELATION 22.1 He showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb, 22.2 in the middle of its street. On this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruits, yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 22.3 There will be no curse any more. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants serve him. 22.4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 22.5 There will be no night, and they need no lamp light; for the Lord God will illuminate them. They will reign forever and ever. -WEB Bible.  God wants us to know that there is an absolutely glorious future ahead for those who love Him! The book of Revelation ends with a strong message of hope, as well as incentive to hang in there as we deal with the trials of life. This scene is referred to as “the Restoration of Eden”, because we will once again be allowed access to the Tree of Life, and the River of Life, which were in the garden of Eden. The curse on Adam and Eve will be officially ended. We will have fellowship with God face to face. These things were lost when Adam and Eve sinned, but they will be restored to us again, and more besides. The image above gives us only a teeny-tiny peephole idea of what Eden might be like. It will be vast and fabulous beyond all imagination. IMAGE CREDIT: Restoration of Eden, generated by SeaArt.ai and edited by C.A. Stevens.

 

DESPERATE SITUATIONS

 

DESPERATE SITUATIONS Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He tapped Peter on the side and woke him up, saying, “Get up quickly.” And the chains fell off his wrists. Acts 12:7 God has a thousand keys to open a thousand sundry doors for the deliverance of His own, even when it is a desperate case. Let us be faithful; and care for our own part which is to suffer for Him, and lay Christ’s part on Himself, and leave it there. —George MacDonald Ah, soul, it may have to come to the worst before you are delivered; but you will be delivered! In the darkest hours of the night, God provides a way. God may keep you waiting, but he is ever mindful of His promises, and will appear to fulfill His inviolable Word. —F. B. Meyer There’s a simplicity about God in working out His plans, yet a resourcefulness equal to any difficulty, and an unswerving faithfulness to His trusting child, and an unforgetting steadiness in holding to His purpose. Through a fellow-prisoner, then a dream, God lifts Joseph from a prison to a premiership. And the length of stay in the prison prevents dizziness in the premier. It’s safe to trust God’s methods and to go by His clock. —S. D. Gordon Difficulty is the very atmosphere of miracle— it is miracle in its first stage. If it is to be a great miracle, the condition is not difficulty but impossibility. The clinging hand of His child makes a desperate situation a delight to Him. Streams in the Desert

HOLD FAST AND TRUST

 

HOLD FAST AND TRUST When you go through deep waters I will be with you. Isaiah 43:2 “In fierce storms,” said an old seaman, “we must do one thing; there is only one way: we must put the ship in a certain position and keep her there.” This, Christian, is what you must do. Sometimes, like Paul, you can see neither sun nor stars; it is a great tempest that swirls around you. Then there is only one thing you can do, there is only one way. Reason cannot help you; past experiences give you no light. Even prayer fetches no consolation. Only a single course is left. You must put your soul in one position and keep it there. You must stay upon the Lord. No matter what comes, whether winds, waves, cross-seas, thunder, lightning, jagged rocks, roaring breakers... NO MATTER WHAT: you must lash yourself to the helm, and hold fast your confidence in God’s faithfulness. His covenant engagement with you is absolutely trustworthy, and so is His everlasting love in Christ Jesus. You can trust your God in every storm. By Richard Fuller
