We Need Faith!

March 19, 2013

And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
–Mark 11:22

Dr. Wernher von Braun, the guiding scientist in the development of our great space rockets, has said, “The materialists of the 19th century and the Marxist heirs of the 20th tried to tell us that as science yields more knowledge about the creation, it makes us able to live without faith in a Creator. Yet so far, with every new answer we have discovered new questions. The better we understand the intricacies of the atomic structure, the nature of life and the master plan for the galaxies, the more reason we have found to marvel at the wonder of God’s creation. But our need for God is not based on awe alone. Man needs faith just as he needs food, water, and air. With all the science in the world, we need faith in God.”

Prayer for the day

Father, man’s incredible inventions are so insignificant when I contemplate Your magnificent creation. Yet, in complete dependence, I realize my need of faith in You for my smallest need.

Lord, Strengthen our faith as we share it with others. May the light of Your love shine through us, giving hope to those in our path.

Steve says 3.19.2013, 5:05 p.m.

You're right, "D". BGEA devotion is one of the best kept secrets among Christians. We need to get the word out about this awesome resource.

Loi says 3.19.2013, 3:01 p.m.

Father, my very existence depends on my FAITH in You. I Thank You Father for Your Blessings. Amen, Amen and Amen!!!

Elizabeth says 3.19.2013, 2:38 p.m.

God bless us all, for when we seek we will find. We will eventually find the truth and it will set us free!!

Mike says 3.19.2013, 2:04 p.m.

All things were made by Him and for Him. The amazing thing is that he has allowed mankind to participate with Him in His creation. Starting in the garden with Adam and naming all the animals to the very end when we will rule and reign with Him

Elias Yisehak Aldada says 3.19.2013, 2:01 p.m.

Thank You Lord for You are our everything.Blessed Be The Name of our Father.

Many prefer to say that He is not real so that they can do what evil their hearts want to do; He is real, He made everything, and He will judge one day. Praise JESUS ! Amen

Gerry says 3.19.2013, 07:38 a.m.

All mankinds accomplishments combined, pale by comparision to the least of the Lord's creation.

D says 3.19.2013, 06:24 a.m.

I look forward to these devotions every day. I would ask that for those that are new in their walk and are seeking guidance that the devotion link be readily available as a quick link from the front page of your website. I had to search to find it.

Dennis says 3.18.2013, 7:56 p.m.

People everywhere seem to recognize there is indeed a "science" to all things created. The power behind the science was well thought out by God. Well done. It is far far beyond our comprehension. Thank you Lord for all the perfect beauty. Amen.

Pedro says 3.19.2012, 10:13 p.m.

To look at the world around us and think that it all could have happened at random makes no sense to me.It makes more sense when I see the hand of an intelligent, loving Creator. I don't have enough faith to be an atheist.

Christina says 3.19.2012, 3:43 p.m.

I surrender all to you God. Thank you for your magnificence and grace.

Mike says 3.19.2012, 11:49 a.m.

I cant imagine life without Christ.It seems the young people waver whether there is a God.There lives are empty and without purpose.I thank God daily for guiding me and my blessings--Amen

Paul says 3.19.2012, 10:59 a.m.

This winter the leaves fell from the trees in my yard and the branches were bare. I knew that the buds would come out if I waited for the Spring...they did and so God's power in our lives is just like what happens in the natural world He created.

TIM says 3.19.2012, 08:45 a.m.

I pray in these desolate times that our nation would look towards the heavens and put there faith back in GOD'S hands and our country shall persevere through any trial or storm and shine as a light throughout the world...

Joe says 3.19.2012, 08:31 a.m.

Amen Gerry.

Gerry says 3.19.2012, 07:47 a.m.

All of our scientific advancement and latest technology etc., etc...tend to make us too proud of our accomplishments. However none of these things were possible without God even if we refuse to give him the credit. Why, because he first created us.

Annie says 3.19.2012, 07:46 a.m.

We having the same Spirit Of Faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; (2 Corinthians 4:13). Holy Spirit, You are the God who imparts faith. Thank You LORD, my faith in God, Amen

Gerry says 3.24.2011, 07:11 a.m.

I can do nothing outside of Christ. Thank you Lord for instilling this great truth deep in my heart.

samson says 3.19.2011, 08:38 a.m.

Yes its true that lord has blessed us and its not because we deserved it.

Chad says 3.19.2011, 07:49 a.m.

I can't prove God but Christ lives in my heart....Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.(Romans10:17)thank you Jesus..Amen

mick says 3.16.2011, 11:53 a.m.

Someday we will truly know why we have been blessed by our Creator!
