Genesis 1:3 Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light.
LET THERE BE . . . AND THERE WAS
After millions (when I was in school) and now billions of years, totally by chance, everything we see came into being. Those who actually believe in evolution have a tremendous amount of faith in that theory. After all, the science of mathematics says that 0 + 0 = 0. From somewhere, that first tiny molecule, that first "thing" had to come. How is it possible that something can evolve from nothing?
Thank God for His word, and this phrase -- oft repeated in Genesis One -- which again reminds us of the power of God and the power of His word. God said, "Let there be" . . . and there was. It just came into existence -- whole, complete, perfect. No tweaking, or adjusting was needed after the thing was brought into being. There it was.
How often do we not wish our words carried similar power? Sure would save a lot of time writing sermons, and devotions. To be able to get up in the morning and say, "Let there be a series of six devotions on . . ." and there was. Or, "Let the dishes be done." "Let the lawn be mowed." "Let the garden be weeded." Our words, and our thoughts carry no such power or ability. Is it not foolish of us to suppose that our word or the word of humanity is superior to that of God's word?
God said, "Let there be . . . and there was."
God still says, "Let there be" . . . and there is.
