My Soul Magnifies The Lord

 God is Spirit essentially but within that definition He is also a Supreme Mathematician. All the intricacies of structure and process of His mighty cosmos are, at least in principle, capable of being described mathematically, and the goal of science is to do just that. Our pleasure is to look and be amazed. How does He do it! He's an Awesome God!

This precise structure of the universe clearly points to a marvellous mind as its Creator. God even counts “the number of the stars; He calls them all by their names” (Psalm 147:4). Astronomers estimate that at least 10 trillion trillion stars exist in the heavens, and God has counted and identified each one! Imagine He has a separate name on each one!


 And that is not all: You are His masterpiece: His Poema! He says that  “the very hairs of your head are all numbered,” (Matthew 10:30). From the most massive star to the tiniest hair, God has counted each component of His creation. Such feats are far beyond human capabilities, for, “the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured” by man. (Jeremiah 33:22). 


 But God has also created, “an innumerable company of angels” (Hebrews 12:22) and has promised that the redeemed are “a great multitude, which no man could number” (Revelation 7:9). Time to come outside our limited narrow human conceptions and see the length and breadth and height and depths. What an awesome God!


 No wonder David exclaimed, Many, O LORD my God, are Thy wonderful works which Thou hast done, and Thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto Thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered (Psalm 40:5).


 Perhaps the most wonderful of all God’s counting activities is that implied in Job’s rhetorical question: “Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps?” If He has numbered the hairs on our heads, we can be certain He numbers our steps along the way, and guides them all. 


Psalm 139 talks about you: No joking!

"O Lord, You have searched me and known me.
You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.
You have hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.

God Declares (Not knows) The End From The Beginning!


Prophecy is foretelling an event in such detail before it happens so as to necessarily require divine guidance. The Bible is a book containing hundreds of detailed prophecies. 


There are, for example, well over 60 distinct predictions in regard to our divine Saviour Jesus Christ. Not only were the predictions made 1000 years before Christ came from heaven to earth, but they were made over 500 years before crucifixion was first used anywhere in the world as a form of capital punishment! Crucifixion didn't exist when the prophecies were made. 


A scientist picked out 48 such prophecies and determined that the probability of one man randomly fulfilling them all is 1 in 10 to the exponent of 157. That is one followed by 157 zeros! 


The same God who was so accurate in declaring the 60 prophecies below has also declared, before time began or before sin even enterd the equation, that you and those "who have the son" are justified or righteous in His sight. You better believe it: He is 100% accurate in that too. Listen to this song before looking below and see how amazing your Dad
