We Need Faith

Jesus, answering, said unto them,

“Have faith in God.”  

Mark 11:22

Today's Bible Reading: Mark 11:15-24.

Dr. Wernher von Braun, the guiding scientist in the development of our great space rockets, once said: “The materialists of the 19th century and the Marxist heirs of the 20th tried to tell us that as science yields more knowledge about the creation, it makes us able to live without faith in a Creator. Yet so far, with every new answer we have discovered new questions. The better we understand the intricacies of the atomic structure, the nature of life and the master plan for the galaxies, the more reason we have found to marvel at the wonder of God’s creation. But our need for God is not based on awe alone. Man needs faith just as he needs food, water, and air. With all the science in the world, we need faith in God.”

“Even in our most advanced discoveries, we encounter mysteries that science cannot solve—questions of meaning, purpose, and eternity. Faith is not opposed to knowledge; it completes it. As Proverbs 1:7 reminds us, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.”

Let our growing understanding of the universe lead us not to pride, but to deeper wonder and trust in the One who holds it all together.

Prayer: Father, man's incredible inventions are so insignificant when I contemplate Your magnificent creation. Yet, in complete dependence, I realize my need of faith in You for my smallest need. I commit myself to You this day. In Jesus name. Amen.
