“Have you not known? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth? It is He that set us up on the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretches out the heavens as a curtain and spreads them out as a tent to dwell in” (Isaiah 40:21-22).

The faith of a child really is quite a remarkable thing. Five-year-old Mark came home from Sunday school, and at the family table announced, “Jesus made everything, and that settles it.” Markie’s older brothers and sisters chuckled at the young theologian but were still happy to see the faith of their little brother. Mark grew up and became a committed believer, and indeed, a scientist that firmly believed in the Genesis account of creation. He loved the Lord Jesus and was thankful to belong to an awesome Creator. As an adult it became his joy to teach boys and girls about the wonderful creation of the Lord God. “Did you know that our great big huge universe which the Lord Jesus created by simply speaking is growing and expanding? But boys and girls, this is not just something scientists recently discovered. Did you know that Isaiah talked about the way God ‘stretches out the heavens as a curtain and spreads them out as a tent to dwell in’? Only God could have taught Isaiah this wonderful truth. It makes me very happy to be a Christian and to believe the Word of God. You can trust the Bible and the Lord Jesus Christ.” We can do the same thing today. We don’t have to be a rocket scientist. But on the other hand, we could be a rocket scientist and still trust the Lord!

For today: What a blessing to simply believe the Bible and trust the Author.
