Read: Job 38:1-15

All things were created by Him and for Him. -Colossians 1:16

 Why are we here? Listen to the opinion of Stephen Jay Gould, a Harvard
paleontologist who is regarded as an eminent authority on how life began. Gould says,
"We [exist] because one odd group of fishes had a peculiar fin anatomy that could
transform into legs for terrestrial creatures; because the earth never froze entirely
during an ice age; because a small and tenuous species, arising in Africa a quarter of a
million years ago, has managed, so far, to survive by hook and by crook. We may yearn for
a "higher" answer – but none exists."

Contrast that godless guesswork with the majestic affirmation of the opening verse of
the Bible: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" (Gen. 1:1).

Yes, that’s the higher answer! We’re here because the Lord Almighty has brought
everything into existence by His will and power (Col. 1:16). We’re here because a wise,
loving Creator wanted us and fashioned us as beings who are able to obey Him, serve Him,
trust Him, and love Him.

Which answer do you accept? The answer that we’re here because of a series of mindless
accidents – the answer that leads to despair? Or do you accept the biblical answer that
brings the hope of everlasting love and life?

I sing the mighty power of God

That made the mountains rise;

That spread the flowing seas abroad

And built the lofty skies. -Watts
