WHO’S YOUR DADDY!?

By Dianne Olsen, SW Washington

 

Spring has sprung!! And when I witness God unfold His Glory in nature, it is truly breathtaking.

 

Since I have gone back to school to finally get my R.N.-I have encountered many instructors and students who fail to see God in anything. Many instructors announce that they are “Atheist”, and seemingly proud of that fact!!  What I find rather humorous is when these “atheists” declare that no “thinking, educated-human being could believe there is a God!”

 

Well, let me start with Biology 120 (atheist instructor)-We were taught every intricate detail about the human body-the heart, muscles, cells, reproductive system. How every valve in the heart is designed to pump with precise rhythm. The heart brings life to the rest of the body, when it stops, so does life (perhaps the reason that God mentions the heart 830 times in His word). Proverbs 4:23 says, “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it flow issues of life”. Now I am pretty sure that verse was written long before scientist ever even got a glimpse inside a human body!! Muscles contract and relax through a system of nerve impulses from the brain. We each have billions of cells, each one so small-yet they are individually made much like a warehouse, with constant activity transferring vital energy and matter to our organs-cells are so small they can not be seen except for under a microscope. The reproductive system requires glands, cells, eggs and of course the little tad poles-to work all together to produce life. 

 

In Psychology we were taught it was “discovered” by researchers that babies in the womb can feel emotion and be affected by the emotions of the mother and father, go figure!! Luke 1:41 says, “When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb!” Once again, I’m pretty sure that verse was written long before the “discovery”!! Another recent scientific “discovery” is that laughter actually releases endorphins and brings healing to the body. Whew, wonder how much the research cost for that one?? Proverbs 17:22 says, “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.” Just think of how much money could have been saved if these “brains” would have simply looked in the Bible; are you hearing my sarcasm?

 

The Bible was written long before there were microscopes and scalpels, yet there are so many things written in the Word that scientists “discover”, and then say that their discovery “proves” evolution. Humm...let me think- Yep, they are right about one thing-no logical, thinking human can believe there is a God; for that requires something much more profound and mysterious, that folks, requires faith. You don’t have to look at it under a microscope, for it is the size of a mustard seed.

 

I like all of my instructors and find it very sad that one day they will stand before the very God they deny and hear the words, “Flee from me, I never knew you.” The one thing I am learning from college is that there are more of “them” than me, and my prayer is that they see God in me. If you have kids in college or know people in college, pray for them without ceasing, for it is a perfect place for Satan to deceive them, even those who have been raised in church and know the Word-you can even say a prayer right now-and if you think of it, please pray for me as I trudge through this thing called “higher education”. Because I knew that secularism is rampant, I prayed and asked the Lord to make spiritual connections, to speak to me through the secular perspectives, and He has been faithful to that end!!

 

Bless you all!!
