Spin Class

Have you ever been to a circus and watched as someone began spinning plates. It’s amazing to watch how the person puts one plate on a stick and starts it spinning and then another and another until finally there are multiple plates spinning. You watch closely as this person runs back and forth and touches each plate to keep it spinning ever mindful of any that are slowing down.

Today I was doing my Physics homework in Astronomy. It is a great subject and one that will make you think. I read how each of the planets were made (yes made because let’s face it, I believe God is our creator and not a big bang) and how each one had different characteristics and even how Venus, though it rotates around the Sun like the other planets, it actually spins in the opposite direction than the others. This got me to thinking about God. It amazes me that scientists believe that all of this resulted in a big bang and that none of it was made by a great creator. Really? Wow, I cannot read this without thinking of the greatness of God and how I can see Him speaking all of this into existence and how each and everything that was made was made unique like us. You see as a human being in order to spin so many plates we have to be ever watchful to make sure that nothing falls, but God created all of these planets to spin and move according to what He spoke and He stands back and watches and says, “It is good.” I also thought about the fact that scientists noticed years ago that with a radio telescope they could hear a constant hum or hiss and they never could figure out what it was so they wrote it off as being some type of gas that the radio waves were picking up. Funny, no matter how many times that they tested this and searched, they always found that it pointed to one specific point in the universe. I don’t know about you, but I believe that one point to be God.

I find it funny that we always try to explain things away and never truly see that there is a creator that created all things and He is in all things. Everything that He created points to Him and yet we chose to not see it. Honestly, I think that He continues to create new things every time the scientists believe they have it figured out. Why? Because He is God and His ways are higher than ours. He wants us to believe in Him and He wants us to see Him but most of the time we are looking for any other explanation than the only one that matters. He is God and He is all in all. I cannot wait to see Him one day face to face. Though I enjoy learning of God’s creation, it will never take the place in my mind of the one that created it all. You see, “The heavens declare the Glory of God and the firmament showeth His handiwork.” Ps. 19:1. 

Everything that we try to figure out and explain away only needs one word, Faith. You see I have faith that He exists, I don’t need to see the wind to believe it is there, I can feel it. Just like I can feel Him. I am the type of person that analyzes and tries to figure everything out but with that in mind, I have known Him intimately and I know by experience that He has been with me since the beginning. He has reminded me time and time again that He was always there trying to lead me and guide me toward Him. He confirms that He is talking to me when I pray about things and talk to Him about what is going on and then I hear my answer in a sermon. I know you are thinking that is coincidence but when He uses some of the same words and terminology or scriptures that I was speaking to Him about through the person preaching, to me that is Him speaking. Other times I will hear a song on the radio, or in talking with someone He will use them to talk to me. You can try to explain why certain things happen or you can just give in and say, “Ok God, I believe, show me who you are and reveal yourself to me.” I promise you, He will. He has been waiting for you before He even formed you in your mother’s womb. All He has ever wanted was to be a part of your life. You know that longing that you have in your heart for someone to love you and for someone to see you. Well, He loves you and He sees you. Just step out on faith and allow the God of the universe to reach down and touch you right where you are at. He loves you!!!!
