The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament shows His handiwork. Psalm 19:1

'Did God really make the world?' Ralph asked his Dad. 'A boy in my class said that there used to be only dust in space and strong winds blew all the dust together and that is how the world happened.'

'It just shook together?' Dad smiled. 'Do you think that could happen?'

'I don't know.' Ralph sighed. 'This boy said his father doesn't believe the Bible - he says it's not true.'

'Just got blown together?' Dad repeated. 'Tell you what, Ralph. Go get your little sister's crossword puzzle - the one with only 12 pieces. I'm going to fix up this big fan.'

When Ralph came back Dad tumbled the puzzle pieces into a big basin and set the electric fan so it sent a strong breeze into the basin. All the pieces jumped around.'Shouldn't be long until the puzzle comes together. This is a lot easier than making a world,' Dad said.

'I don't think it's going to work,' Ralph replied. And he was right. Dad let the fan blow through the whole weekend. On Monday morning, not one piece of the puzzle had linked to another.

'Now take a look at the heavens, Ralph. The sun, the moon, the stars; do you really think they could just happen? Think about Spring-time and harvest. Could all that happen by chance? And do you think that something as wonderful as you could just happen because the wind blew some dust? No.' Dad put his hand on Ralph's shoulder. 'God made it all.'

Prayer: Dear Lord, thank You that You are the great Creator and that You love everything You made. Amen.
