God made two great lights – the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. Genesis 1:16

God and God alone is infinite. He always was and always will be. All other things begin with His breath and continue by His will. Scientific study and ingenuity are unraveling some of the beautiful mystery of God’s wonder filled creation, but still, we can only grasp a minuscule fraction of all that was woven together at the beginning of linear time.

Creation didn’t happen as a passing whimsical thought. Earth is the exact distance from the sun, positioned perfectly from the center of the Milky Way galaxy. Any change in this distance would create toxic radiation making earth uninhabitable. The planet Jupiter is so big that its strong gravity actually shields earth from incoming meteors and comets. Jupiter pulls some of them into itself or throws them back into the outer solar system, thus protecting the planet we call home. If any space debris does get past our massive body guard it gets burned up by earth’s perfect atmosphere. Pretty amazing!

Everything about us and our world is a perfect design. God doesn’t do things any other way.

If God can bring the cosmic order into being, then He can certainly bring to order any struggles you are having with the chaos of your world.

Love,

Gretchen
