Isaiah 48:13

Indeed My hand has laid the foundation of the earth, And My right hand has stretched out the heavens; When I call to them, They stand up together

DAILY READING –   Luke 1:57-80; Ezekiel 35-36; Isaiah 59

Scientists have often struggled with certain statements from the Bible. And one statement in particular they struggled with for many centuries, was the verse in Mathew 2:9  that says a star stopped over Bethlehem. They found  this hard to believe because from their studies, they know that stars don’t stop over cities. However  recently, a man named Frederick Larson, made outstanding discoveries that proved this Bible statement to be true. Using simulations with modern computer software, he was able to go back in time and recreate what the sky must have looked like at the time of the birth of Jesus. This can be possible because movement of planetary bodies are very precise and can be calculated. Using this system he made the amazing discovery that indeed the brightest star ever known to man, the star of Bethlehem, did appear at the period of Jesus’ birth. And not only that, this star indeed did stop over  the city of Bethlehem. His findings are captured in his documentary titled ‘star of Bethlehem’.This discovery which has astounded scientists, is yet another undeniable proof of the truth of God’s Word.

Indeed The word of God is eternally true. His Word controls creation. In Isaiah 48:13 God says ‘Indeed My hand has laid the foundation of the earth, And My right hand has stretched out the heavens; When I call to them, They stand up together’

God upholds everything by the Word of His power. There is perfect order in the universe because of the infallibility of The Word of God. It is because of this perfect order in the arrangement of the universe that astronauts are able to travel into outer space. They are able to calculate beforehand the movement of the planetary bodies, to avoid collisions on their voyage.

Psalm 147:4 says that God counts the stars and knows them all by name.

If God knows the stars by name, He certainly knows each one of His children by name. And if The Word of God has not failed in the order of the universe, how can it then fail in the matters that concern us. This indicates that when we submit to God’s Word, our lives, will also move in perfect order and precision. This is why when we are in the will of God we do not need to bother because our life is following a divinely orchestrated course.. Things do not just happen, there is a pattern that is gradually unfolding. There is a script being followed.

Angel Gabriel rebuked Zechariah for not believing The Word of God which ‘shall be accomplished in its season’. So The Word has a season, an appointed time for its fulfillment.

This is why Habakkuk 2:3 says, ‘Though it tarry wait for it, because it will surely come, it will not tarry..’

Therefore the greatest service we can do ourselves is to ensure we follow God’s will, so as not to miss our own season for the fulfillment of His Word in our lives. There is an order being followed. There is a season to every of God’s promise. Just as the universe moves in order and precision, when we align with God’s will, at the pointed time and season what is due us will manifest.  No force can stop God’s purpose in our lives, when the appointed time for it comes. We therefore enter into our rest, having ceased from our own works, No matter the storm, we hold our peace, knowing everything is working together for our good.  Through study of God’s Word and prayer, we listen to the voice of The Spirit as He leads us along God’s preordained path for us. And as we obey His leading, our lives will move in alignment to God’s will, just as the planets move with precision in their own orbit.

PRAYER: Lord, please  grant me the grace to constantly study Your Word and follow the leading of The Spirit, so that my life can be ordered to manifest Your purpose  for me in each season in  Jesus Name.
