“He existed before anything was created, and by His power everything continues to hold together” Colossians 1:17 Look at the world and all there is in it...what do you see? Is it evolution from a single atom that scientists still don’t know the origin of? And if we take an even closer look at the atom...secular scientists still have no idea what is keeping it together! They have a “theory” called the strong force and it’s as scientific as it sounds; a force holding the protons of the atom together. Bear with me as I share with you the construction of the atom. It is a complex structure made up of protons and neutrons. Protons (being positive) attract only to electrons (which are negative)...meaning that the protons repel other protons. So HOW then does the atom, which composes all things, stay intact? Protons should repel each other; so why are they bonded so securely? No worldly scientist knows, but we as Christians do. God holds all things together as Colossians 1:17 states.
Those who defer from God and His creation, tend to spend much more time pondering different aspects of the world, when really...God tells us right in His word! For example, the earth being round is found in Job 26:10, “He draws a circle on the surface of the ocean’s horizon...” and Isaiah 40:22, “God sits enthroned above the circle of the earth...” God has given us the answers long before they were accepted and discovered.
Yesterday I went to the dentist and learned something interesting from the lady cleaning my teeth. You see, I was born without one of my molars having an adult tooth behind it (a very common thing), so I should have my “baby tooth” for pretty much my whole life. She told me that the little tooth is very peculiar however, because with all the medical research, knowledge, and various studies...that tooth should fall out! They have no idea why, with all the different forces trying to push it out, it stays. When I heard that it really reminded me of God’s holding power. He holds the world together in His perfect hands and He’s the one that makes the world run like a timely clock. It also portrayed in my mind the life of a Christian. We are faced with many struggles, trials, persecutions, and to the extent of torture, yet seem to stay totally intact and at peace. People around and living within our life’s atmosphere don’t understand why we do the things we do with such concord. What holds them together? Our Saviour!
When I hear people questioning how this world is running, how it’s being held together, how it “evolved”...it makes me want to yell to the heavens, “DON’T YOU KNOW GOD!? DON’T YOU KNOW HOW FLAWLESSLY HE CREATED THIS WORLD, AND HOW HE HOLDS US AND EVERYTHING IN IT TOGETHER!? Would you like me to help you understand? Shall we pray together so He can give you the wisdom and understanding you need?” I wish I had the boldness and courage that I have in my thoughts...I tend not to be that straight forward with my remarks, but sometimes I wish I had. Though these scientists are questioning, I’m so glad that we have been given the answer.
