The Psalmist said, "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handiwork." (Psalms 19:1) Based upon the evidence of the order of this universe and its origin, faith in God as "Lord of heaven and earth" is reasonable. But the man who denies God and believes in eternal matter must have a strong and UNreasonable faith.
True faith in God is neither unreasonable nor blind. Much testimony supports faith in God. In fact, when one carefully examines the evidence of God's creation, it seems far more unreasonable to deny that God made the world and all things in it than to believe that He did. (Acts 17:24)

Four more years? So what? What are four more years in the light of eternity? Nothing. Four more years to glorify Him in times of tremendous pressure. Four more years of witnessing Him sustain us. Four more years to bring the ONLY message that brings "Hope and Change" and that is: The Gospel of Jesus Christ. Four more years of blessing: "Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord And whose trust is the Lord. "For he will be like a tree planted by the water, That extends its roots by a stream And will not fear when the heat comes; But its leaves will be green, And it will not be anxious in a year of drought Nor cease to yield fruit. Praise God wherever you are and whatever situation He has allowed you to be in . . . His glory will shine through! "Mother, Are You Worring?"
"Mother, are you worring?" Mrs. Carter was startled by this unexpected question. Standing in the doorway to the living room was five-year-old Eddie, clad in his pajamas and wearing a look on his face as though he had not a friend in the world. She had put little Eddie to bed more than an hour ago and thought that he had long since drifted off to sleep. But there he was in the doorway, wide awake and evidently troubled, eager to have an answer to his question. At a loss at first to explain what the boy meant by his unusual query, she was soon to find out what was troubling his little heart. When she had put him to bed earlier that evening, he had confided to her one of his bit little problems, for which a solution had to be found before tomorrow morning. In true mother fashion she had assured him that everything would be all right. And as she tucked him in and kissed him good night, she had said: "Now, you just go to sleep—and let Mother worry about that." An hour had passed, and the lad was not sure that his mother was keeping her promise. Was she really "worrying about that?" We may smile at little Eddie, but are not we all very much like him? The Bible invites us again and again to cast all our cares, our worries and anxieties, upon the Lord. And He assures us that He will care for us (I Peter 5:7). It is because we are spiritual children that we find it impossible to take God at His Word. How often have we stayed awake at night because we were not sure that God would keep His promise to care for us—tonight, tomorrow? Let us never-forget that God's "good night" to the praying Christian is very similar to that of Eddie's mother: "Now, you just go to sleep—and let Me worry about those problems . Herman W.
