Mystery of Dark Matter Substructure!

 

 

 

Quotation

 

Worldly wisdom, based on human memory is flawed and limited. As humans, we will never be able to fully comprehend the mind of God. But, because we were created in His image, we can use Godly wisdom, to help us during our life journey.

 

Barry Denzil Haney

 

Verse

 

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

 

Psalm 23:4

 

 

Reflection

 

For decades astrophysicists have theorized that the universe is filled with dark matter, an exotic material explaining the gravitational behavior of galaxies and galaxy clusters. According to mathematical models, dark matter makes up about three quarters of all the matter in the universe. But dark matter has never been seen. Candidates for what dark matter might be include weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPS), primordial black holes, and neutrinos.  Interestingly enough, new research suggests dark matter doesn’t exist at all!

 

Wow! The limited human mind never ceases to amaze me. Scientific worldly wisdom strikes out again! God lets us discover the tip of the iceberg,  but does not disclose the details of his creation. Through study of God’s Word, the Holy Spirit has shared with me the mystery of dark matter substructure – the foundation is faith in Jesus!

 

No matter what problem confronts you during your chaotic journey to salvation, Jesus is always at the bottom, providing the foundation to help you overcome any adversity you face. This is confirmed by the following Bible verse in Matthew 7:24-27:

 

Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And everyone that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

 

         Many people in today’s world compartmentalize their lives. Their lives are like a pie. They compartmentalize their lives into pieces of a pie – a piece of the pie is dedicated to Jesus, another to their social life, another to their faith, etc. Unfortunately, you cannot compartmentalize faith. Faith is the linchpin in our lives. Faith is a foundational element of our relationship with Jesus. Soren Kierkegaard said, “Faith begins precisely there where thinking leaves off.” The mystery of dark matter substructure or faith in Jesus, cannot be explained through scientific evaluation.

 

         In Hebrews 11:1, the Bible explains faith in this way:

 

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

 

Illustration

        

Look for miracles of God in the valley of despair -- The experience of Sister Becky Buckland. 

 

Bitten by a rabid dog, she was told that she was not going to live.  The doctors said bluntly that she would get progressively worse and die in ninety days.  She had passed beyond the stage where medicine could help her.   In the midst of the trial, the only thing left to do was go to church. She went to camp meeting in Indiana in 1993 and they gathered around her and prayed. God healed her and the Buckland’s became missionaries in the Czech Republic where they are raising up a work for the name of Jesus! (Jordan)

 

 

Prayer

 

Our Heavenly Father,

 

Thank you for always being at the bottom

supporting me during times of despair.

Thank you for the gift of Your grace

Allowing me the ability to love You!

Thank you for Your love!

 

I don’t understand why You could love

someone like me! I keep allowing Satan

to tempt my earthen vessel, falling for

his lies and deceptions. Thank you for

providing me a way out and for giving me

 the strength to withstand the wily ways of Satan!

 

In the precious name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior,

 

Amen!
