DON’T BE A FOOL

This world is incredible and is full of mysteries. The sun; a massive heat pump that sits just far enough from the earth to make our climate such that life can be sustained on it, containing thousands of gallons of water that is cycled daily. Evaporated from the oceans condensed into cloud formations, formulated into rain storms that shower down onto the land of the earth were the plants of the earth drink, the animals of the earth drink, and the men of the earth drink, 60% of our bodies are water, we couldn’t live without it, the water is returned to the sea by streams. It is a massive system that works to absolute precision. All compounds exist in three forms; as a solid, a liquid and as a gas. Water is such that it exist as a solid, liquid, and as a gas within a very tight spectrum of temperatures; go beyond that tight spectrum of temperatures it exist as either a gas or solid, life has to have liquid water to exist, so the temperatures of the earth must be maintained within a very narrow spectrum in order for liquid water to be available at all times. I said earlier that all compounds have three states; solid, liquid, and gas. All compounds except one are their densest as a solid meaning the molecules are closest together when a solid, spread apart to become a liquid, and spread apart even further to become a gas. One compound is different and that is water. Water actually becomes lighter when it is transformed into a solid, the water molecules spread apart, and that is why ice floats on water. If water acted like all other compounds on earth when it froze and became a solid it would sink, it is very good for us that water doesn’t sink. If water did sink when frozen we would have a problem, in time all the water of the earth would freeze and be contained at the poles. Water at the poles freezes at the surface but maintains its liquid state under the ice, if it sank once solid the ice would sink to the bottom of the ocean allowing the surface water to freeze and sink until finally it was all just a solid block of ice.

Why is this? Why is it that this one substance that we need to sustain life is so different than all others? Need I say that it is by design! When I see this it has all the markings of intelligent design, there is no other reason for it. This is by intelligent design! There is no reason for water to act differently than all other compounds but it does. The one substance that we need to sustain life is designed in such a way to insure that there is always some of it available on earth in its liquid state. That the earth is set just far enough from the sun to give us a temperate climate that keeps water available in a liquid state at all times. That the earth is placed just far enough from the sun to cause water to transform into a gas rise into the atmosphere condense then fall back down to the earth providing life giving water available to all creatures. What a beautiful system so designed. To look at this and say there is no God one would have to be a fool! “For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise they became fools”. “The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no God’". Creation it self is evidence enough of the Creator, and if there is a Creator you better know who He is and how to be reconciled to Him.

“He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. But as many as receive Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God”. Let me introduce you to my God, my King, my Savior, Jesus Christ! Trust in Him alone for salvation. That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved”. "Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ".
