Titus 3:5
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit.
I’ve been listening to an audio book by a well-known astro-physics guy from MIT. It’s mostly over my head, but his main point is easy enough to understand, even if science wasn’t your best subject in school.
The universe we live in is extremely well-ordered. It’s as if all the dials have been set exactly right for life. What accounts for this precision? I think his “multi-verse” theory is quite bizarre, and more science-fiction than science, but it has caused me to think about the bigness of God, His infiniteness, and this is where we come to our call to worship today.
“He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds. He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name. Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite.” Psalm 147:3-5
I just noticed in reading these verses how they first of all say “He heals the brokenhearted, and binds up their wounds”. We’re rather intrigued by the next statement, “He calls the stars by name.” Say what, Lord? You call all the billions of stars by name? “Oh, that—that’s nothing”, the Lord would say.
It’s as if the Lord God Almighty is saying to us, “Let Me take care of the infinite, eternal part. Your part is to be faithful. You trust. You rejoice. Remember, I made you with a finite, limited capacity for a reason. My love, my joy, my peace is really not found by storing it up, but in the overflow. May our worship of the infinite, personal God overflow this day. To God be all the glory!
