 GOD IS EVERYTHING

God is...a very present help in trouble.'Psalm 46:1 NKJV

Ever since I can remember, I have believed in God. I don’t know where I got the idea, but I have always believed that God is everything. I know that there are many different versions of God out there, but to me, God is the one and only true God. I believe that he is the creator of the universe and everything in it. I also believe that he is responsible for everything that happens in our lives. He is the one who guides us and helps us to get through our difficult times. I know that he is always there for us, and I believe that he is always willing to help us. I know that he loves us.

THE BIBLE says, 'God is..a very present help in trouble.' But first you must believe that God is, otherwise the best you can hope for is good luck or human help. And how far do you think that’ll get you? When the doctor says he can't do any more to save you or a love one, who will you turn to when you've run out of answers and need guidance, where would you go to find them? When you're guilt-ridden and long for peace and forgiveness, who provide them for you? when you do away with God you become your own god, because you recognize no greater power in the universe than yourself. You can see why the bible says, The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God" (Psalm 14:1 NKJV). How foolish to cut yourself off from the greatest source of help in all the universe! Now, let's talk about why 'God is,' and why you should put your trust in Him.

First, let's look at astronomy. The Bible says: The heavens proclaim the glory Tune in of God. The skies display his craftsmanship...night after night they make him known. They speak Without d Sound or word...Yet their message has gone throughout the earth' (Psalm 19l-4 NLD. Did you know that 90 percent of the world's astronomers believe in God? That's a higher percentage than can be found among butches, Dakers, and candlestick makers! The great minds who have thoroughly examined His handiwork, believe that 'God is." How about you?

"Lift your eyes...to the heavens; Who created all these?Isaiah 40:26 NIV (1984 Edition)

MANY OF the world's greatest thinkers believe that God not only exists, but that He Created the universe and its inhabitants. So the next time someone tells you that only simple, uneducated people believe in God -don't buy it. Dr. Robert Jastrow, founder and director of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies at NASA, writes in his blockbuster book, God and the Astronomers: The astronomical evidence supports the biblical view of the origin of the world... The details differ, but the essential elements in the astronomical and biblical accounts of Genesis are the same...Science has proved that the universe exploded into being at a certain moment...What cause produced this effect? Who or what put the matter or energy into the universe Science cannot answer these questions... and for the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountain of ignorance..is about to conquer the highest peak, and as he pulls himself over the final rock he's greeted by a band of theologians who’ve been sitting there for centuries. Pierre-Simon Laplace, another of the world's great astronomers, said that proof in favour of an intelligent God was infinitely more probable than that a set of writing implements thrown promiscuously against parchment Would produce Homer's liad. The evidence for God as opposed to the evidence against Him the creator of this universe, is infinity to one. It can’t even be measured. So rejoice He's accessible and available, if you'll just take time to pray and invite Him into your life.

The LORD is...the Creator of..the earth. Isaiah 40:28 NIV (2011 Edition)

CONTRARY TO what we've been led to believe, science and Scripture aren't necessarily opposed. The ranks of Bible-believing scientists have grown rapidly since the discovery of quantum physics, which demonstrates the amazing symmetry and order that make up the universe. Did you know that one of the most brilliant scientific books of our time was written by no less than sixty notable scientists, including twenty-four Nobel Prize winners? The book's title is Cosmos, Bios, Theo, which means Universe, Life, and God. And one of the contributing authors, Yale physicist Professor Henry Margenau, concludes, ‘There’s only one convincing answer' for the intricate laws that exist in nature. And what does this brilliant man think it is? Evolution ? Coincidence? Happenstance? No! Margenau believes that creation is by an omnipotent omniscient God. So to believe in God is to believe in science. and the infallible 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' (vw.28-31 NIV 2011Edition), That means through prayer you can tap into the greatest power and most loving care in the universe. Amazing! How you face each day depends on Who You're looking up to. So look to God. Put your trust in Him. "Commit to the LORD whatever You do, and your plans will succeed' (Proverbs 16:3 NIV 1984 Edition).

1...made the earth and created mankind upon it. Isaiah 45:12 NIV (1984 Edition)

EVER WONDER why we've failed to find life on any other planet, yet ours Sustain us and meet our most basic everyday needs? It makes you wonder, Doesn’t it, do you think it's just a coincidence? Not according to the Bible. In it God says, 'I made the earth and created mankind upon it." Did you know that if the earth was 10 percent smaller, life as we know it wouldn't be possible? Or that we're devoid of assistance From the sun so we receive the right amount of heat and light? If we were farther away we'd freeze, and if we were closer we wouldn’t be able to survive. Consider for a moment the amazing tilt of the axis of the earth. None of the other planets are tilted like ours at 23 degrees. This angle allows the sun s rays touch every part of the earth’s surface over the course of a year, as the earth circles the sun. if there was no tilt to lal axis the poles would accumulate enormous masses of ice, and the center of the earth would become so hot we couldn't stand it. Like an excited parent designing a room for the arrival of their new born child, God made this earth specifically tor us. tor this is what the LORD says- he who created the heavens, he is God, he who fashioned and made the earth, he founded it, he did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited' (v. 18 NIV 2011edition). That's how much God cares for us.

The moon marks off the seasons.' Psalm 104:19 NIV (1984 Edition)

HERE'S AN amazing thing: Without the moon it would be impossible for us to live on this planet. And if anyone ever succeeded in deflecting the moon From its orbit, all life would cease. It acts like a maid to clean up the Oceans and the shores. without the tides created by the moon, our harbours and shores would become one big stench pool of garbage and it would be impossible to live anywhere near them. Because of the tides, continuous waves break upon the shores of the ocean, aerating the waters of the planet and providing oxygen for plankton, the very foundation of our food chain. Without plankton 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- 8 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 tall continually upon our planet. Who takes good care of you? God! And He's on the job twenty-four/seven! Aren't you glad?

You give life to everything. Nehemiah 9:6 NIV (2011 Edition)

LET'S LOOK at another miracle or God's creative genius: the nitrogen extremely inert- if it wasn't we'd all be hooked on the nitrogen cycle. Nitrogen is

extremely inert if it wasn't we d all be poisoned by different forms of nitrous combinations. However, or whatever its inertness, it's impossible for us to get nitrogen to

combine naturally with other things. But it's definitely needed for plants in the ground, so

what provision does G0d make Tor getting it out of the air and into the soil? Lightning! A hundred lightning bolts strike our planet daily, creating a hundred million tons of usable nitrogen plant food in the soil every year. Forty miles up, there's a thin layer of ozone. If compressed it would be only a quarter of an inch thick, yet without it life wouldn’t be sustainable. Eight liner rays continually fall on Our planet from the sun; without ozone we'd be burned, blinded, or rosted. The ultraviolet rays come in two forms: longer rays, which are deadly and are screened out, and shorter rays, which are necessary for life on earth and are administered through the ozone layer. Furthermore, the most deadly of these rays are allowed through the ozone layer in a very limited amount, just enough to kill the green algae which otherwise could grow to fill the lakes, rivers, and oceans of the world. No doubt about it, we are totally dependent on God's goodness. That's why the Psalmist said, All look to you to give them their food at the proper time. When you give it to them, they gather it up, when you open your hand, they are satisfied with good things (Psalm 104:27-28 NIV 1984 Edition). we have an awesome God!

"He waters the mountains from his upper chambers; the earth is satisfied. Psalm 104:13 NIV (1984 Edition)

HAVE YOU ever wondered why nowhere else in the universe do we find water in any abundance, except here on earth? To date, all our telescopes and space travellers confirm that. Water, the amazing solvent, dissolves almost everything upon this earth except those things that are life-sustaining. This amazing liquid we take for granted exists as ice, breaks up rocks, and produces soil. As snow, it stores up water in the valleys. As rain, it waters and cleanses the earth. As vapour, it provides moisture for much of the arable land on earth. It exists as cloud cover in just the right amount. If it had clouds like Venus, the earth couldn't support life. But we have exactly 50 percent of the surface of the earth covered by clouds at any one time, allowing just the right amount of sunlight to filter through. As steam, for centuries water has run some of the most powerful machinery we have. Other than bismuth, it's the only liquid heavier at four degrees Celsius than it is at freezing. if this were not so, life as we know it could not exist on this planet. Therefore when it's frozen its lighter and it rises. If this wasn't the case, our lakes and rivers would freeze from the bottom up and kill all the fish; the algae would be destroyed, Oxygen supply would cease, and mankind would die. So when you feel like God doesn't notice you or care about you, drink a glass of water and say, thank you, Lord!
