Charles Darwin is widely known as the father of the theory of evolution by natural selection—a theory that directly challenges the Biblical account of creation. Yet, in his early years, Darwin was a professing Christian. He attended an Anglican school and earned a degree in divinity, initially intending to become a church pastor or vicar.
However, his worldview shifted dramatically in 1831 when he accepted a role as a naturalist aboard a British Royal Navy ship. During the voyage, he gathered data from nature that would eventually shape his controversial theory of evolution. Over time, Darwin grew increasingly critical of the Bible, especially the Genesis account.
In 1839, Darwin married his first cousin. This marriage to his close relative resulted in medical complications in the lives of their ten children. Three died young, and several others battled chronic health issues. Darwin chose to blame God for his problems, and his faith continued to fade until he finally stopped attending church altogether. The death of his beloved 10-year-old daughter in 1851 shattered him emotionally and marked his final break from belief in God.
After turning from faith, Darwin continued to criticize the Scriptures. But it seemed the more he railed against God, the more his life was laden with troubles. He lived in constant worry, battling anxiety, fear, and numerous physical ailments—including heart problems, stomachaches, and debilitating headaches.
His long list of afflictions continued to increase until he died in 1882, a man burdened and joyless.
Certainly, a person cannot go against God and have peace. Darwin’s life clearly shows this. Those who become offended toward God and complain only complicate their matter.
Numbers 11:1 says the Israelites “complained about their hardships and when God heard it His anger was aroused.” As a result, He destroyed some of the people.
Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 10:9–10, “Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.”
Seeing that murmuring or complaining can be destructive, let us therefore make the conscious choice to avoid it and rather always judge God faithful in every situation. The eternal truth is that God is always good.
Whatever we may have lost at any point, God is the reason why we did not lose everything. And as long as we remain grateful and thankful, it is only a matter of time before God gives us total recovery and complete victory.
Gratitude—not grumbling—is what motivates God to work on our behalf.
Praise is what triggers the intervention of the Omnipotent God in our affairs.
It is not the greatness of a challenge that defeats a man but his attitude towards it.
No matter what happens, we trust in God and refuse to lose hope or give up our faith.
Therefore today, no matter what challenges you may face, always resist the temptation to complain, and in everything keep giving thanks to God.
Maintain your joy, because the joy of the Lord is the source of your strength to overcome every trial and have the victory at last.
PRAYER:
Lord, I thank You, for I know my life and my times are firmly in Your hands, and You are in perfect control of my destiny. Thank You for always working everything together for my good in Jesus’ Name.
