It's There.

Nevertheless He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good, gave us rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness." Acts 14:17

In the mid 19th Century, scientist knew about the planet Uranus. They had been watching it since its discovery by Sir William Herschel in 1781. But in 1846, scientists realized by mapping its orbit that something was causing it to move strangely. It was deduced that it must be the result of a nearby planet. The plotted it mathematically and found Neptune within one degree of the position their mathematical equation predicted. As Christians, the evidence of God is clear by the power of His activity here on earth.

Paul and Barnabas had fled to Lystra and healed a crippled man in front of the temple to the Greek god Zeus. The people seeing the miracle believed Paul and Barnabas to be hermes and zeus; Greek gods come down in the guise of men. The priest of that temple decided to make an offering with the people as a result of the miracle. Paul and Barnabas pleaded with the people to understand that they were men, not gods. In our daily walk we find people who put their trust in many things other than God almighty. They trust their jobs, money, horoscopes, institutions, our leaders and even each other. God’s power is evident in our world. He alone created the heavens and the earth and created us in His image to worship him. Only God has the power to draw men to him in a way that causes our lives to have greater meaning.

My prayer for you today is that you seek God in all you do. As you do this you will feel the unmistakable pull of His power in your life.
