GOD: A SOURCE OF CONVICTION

GOD: A SOURCE OF CONVICTION Power In Faith I F you have a super-telescope that can view the entire universe, you will first of all see that rare planet called earth. You will observe that, amidst the totally lifeless universe, this tiny planet has an abundance of life and various kinds of life-supporting elements. This exceptional sight would be so overwhelming that you would be wonder-struck. You would also see that—the earth, along with its moon and the other planets, are continuously in motion, rotating on their axes, and orbiting around the sun; at the same time, this entire solar system revolving in the wider circle of the Milky Way Galaxy; and the galaxy rotating in the much wider circle of other galaxies. The movement of the stars and planets in this vast endless space will appear astonishingly strange to your sight. You will then see an unbelievable number of vast balls of fire called stars, moving with great speed. Amidst these astral bodies, our earth will appear no more than a grain of sand. This sight will be so astounding that your own existence will appear to be totally insignificant and worthless. This experience will lead you to the discovery of two things. Firstly, there is a powerful God in this universe, its Creator and Sustainer. If you can recall this sight of the universe your heart will automatically call out that the universe itself is a clear proof of its Creator. Secondly, in the face of the immensity of the universe you will feel helpless and insignificant, and understand that without God, your very existence is not possible. This is the most important reality of life. Comprehending this, one will voluntarily turn to God. One’s whole being, will call out: “O God, help me, for, without Your help everything will go wrong!” In this vast universe, man’s only source of support is God. It is by God’s guidance that man’s ship is brought safely ashore. Belief in God is vital for man. Man is nothing without this belief. In this vast universe, man’s only source of support is God. It is by God’s guidance that man’s ship is brought safely ashore.
