“So Jesus answered and said to them, ‘Have faith in God.'” Mark 11:22
Raindrops in the air act as prisms, producing rainbow light; and the moon glow through the clouds disrupts the dark of night.
Mankind has lit up buildings, using electricity as an energy source; but Almighty God lit the many stars and set each planet on its course.
Imagine the power it takes to keep all those heavenly lights burning. As proof of the existence of God, His lights make us discerning.
The sound of mighty ocean waves, day or night, speak of His power, as do the majestic mountains and each uniquely-crafted flower.
Then, consider a newly-born baby or every individual’s special face…the mighty to very small animals, the seasons and their systematic pace.
To have faith in the power of God is easy to do by just looking around, at all of the creative beauty with which this world has been crowned.
P. A. Oltrogge
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, ‘Let there be light’; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.” Genesis 1:1-5
“Then God said, ‘Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth’; and it was so. Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth, and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. So the evening and the morning were the fourth day.” Genesis 1:14-19 (and all of Genesis 1)
“For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse.” Romans 1:20 (Scriptures: NKJV)

Explore creation through “The Rocks Cry Out” with Ray Heiple and Bruce Malone at:
“As He (Jesus) rode along, people were spreading their coats on the road (as an act of homage before a king). As soon as He was approaching (Jerusalem), near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the entire multitude of the disciples (all those who were or claimed to be His followers) began praising God (adoring Him enthusiastically and) joyfully with loud voices for all the miracles and works of power that they had seen, shouting,
“Blessed (celebrated, praised) is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory (majesty, splendor) in the highest (heaven)!”
“Some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples (for shouting these Messianic praises).” Jesus replied, “I tell you, if these (people) keep silent, the stones will cry out (in praise)!” Luke 19:36-40 AMP
“For they willingly forget (the fact) that the heavens existed long ago by the word of God, and the earth was formed out of water and by water, through which the world at that time was destroyed by being flooded with water.” 2 Peter 3:5-6 AMP
