Psalm 145:6 –
Your awe-inspiring deeds will be on every tongue; I will proclaim your greatness.
This is something you either buy into or not. Unfortunately in today’s time with science being the new “god,” it can explain much of the “awe-inspiring” deeds. I once prayed intensely for an injury someone had, which appeared to heal quickly. The response was “are you saying your prayer healed me? I know others heal just as fast with the same problem.” How do you respond to that? Was it coincidence that the injury felt better at about the same time I started praying?
The funny thing is much of science cannot explain much of our world around us, except with “theories” which appear more far-fetched than God’s intervention. The funny thing is we buy into science because much of it is right, but much of the Bible is concrete and it’s dismissed as a “story!” The problem today is the only thing we are to question is authority. Analytical minds are not allowed to question evolution or other aspects of science that “disprove” the existence of God. If they do they are dismissed as religious zealots.
For example I understand how a bird may change it’s coloring to adapt to its changing environment, but not how a giraffe evolved. Over generations the bird adapts to its new environment, but the giraffe cannot live without everything being in place right from the start. So how could one evolve, if it dies once it neck gets too long and blood flow either stops or bursts their brain? Things like this become impossible to explain by “evolution” since the mechanisms the giraffe has to flow blood to its head only exist in their species and they could not live without it.
I get lost in the technicalities of why Gods “awe-inspiring deeds” still exist in today’s world and forget to proclaim God’s greatness! You just can’t deny God once you put an open analytical mind to explore Him. We rarely proclaim God’s greatness outside of our close circle of friends to avoid ridicule. It’s easy to proclaim God’s greatness, but difficult to debate it … unless you have conviction. For me that came from reading and questioning the Bible.
