There Is A God

What are the things in nature that most amaze you? Why?

CONSIDER:

Do you think it is plain to see that a Creator exists because of the design and complexity in the creation? If so, in what ways?

What can we tell about what God is like from the creation (and what can we not tell from it)?

If purposeful (specific) complexity and design need an intelligent creator (like beautiful buildings or automobiles - as also complex miniature machines in the cells of our body), why do some people who are scientific still hold to the belief that there is no God? How can we make sense of this?

REFLECTION:

If there is a God, what does this mean? What does this change about how we view life? What might a wise response to this awareness look like?

Are you willing to put a marker in the ground, declaring that you accept that a Creator God exists on the basis of the evidences — so that you can focus on the next logical questions regarding whether or not this God can be known and trusted?

PRAYER:

Dear God, thank you for this amazing planet, filled with things that are so complex that we cannot yet even understand them. Thank you that we were so carefully made – rather than carelessly or accidentally.

Thank you for giving us a world that we could enjoy, see beauty in, find wonder in, find food in, enjoy recreation in and learn from. It would seem that you made us and this planet with purpose. Help us find that purpose.

Thank you! Amen.
