MARCH 1, Psalm 19:1-2

The Bible is not a book on science or nature, yet it is scientifically accurate. In fact, the Bible has a lot of information about science and nature that comes from God. Some of this information concerns the origin of the universe and the world we live in. And some of these are things that science cannot explain. Why? Because no matter how smart man may think he is, he is but a man. God’s ability, wisdom and power are infinite and so it is not surprising that God can do great things that men cannot understand or explain.

When the Bible mentions factual knowledge about science, it has always been proven to be true. In fact, it was only recently that men of science discovered that what the Bible recorded thousands of years ago are all true. In the readings of this month, you will discover for yourself that the Bible’s statements about the world around us are accurate. You will see for yourself some remarkable scientific principles described in the Bible, written thousands of years before they were proven to be true by science.

Dear child, all of us need much more faith so that we will believe that because the Bible is God’s Word, everything in the Bible must be true. Just take a look again at today’s text. The heavens declare the glory of God, and indeed it is so. Think about the beauty of the skies, the amazing power of the sun when it rises, the beautiful sunset and its range of colours, and the stars that twinkle in the night.

As we begin this month, may we start it right by going to God and asking Him to grant us the faith that will believe whatever the Bible says.

Thought: May I remember whatever the Bible says is true.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, please grant me simple but strong faith to believe all that the Bible records. I am but a child, but please give me the wisdom to trust and obey. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
