Genesis 1:1-5 - "First God made heaven & earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the face of the waters. And God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day."

In the early 80's the Internet didn't exist, almost no one had a computer in their home, and those could do little more than play games. Video tapes were becoming common and there was still something called "Beta Format" vying for the dominant video tape recording format against VHS.

In comparison, while writing the above paragraph, my computer also burned an audio CD of a message recently heard in our church. The audio quality is great and disc could have held twice as much audio data. In fact, that little cheap disk holds roughly 3000 times more information than the hard drive on my first MS DOS based desktop computer!

Amazing what man has been able to create and use, isn't it? It took humanity approximately 6000 years of recorded history to bring about these modern computer marvels and a few decades to change from tape to digital media.

By comparison, the Bible declares that God spoke all energy and matter into instantaneous existence. God didn't have to do any research or go through a lot of trial and error. His Word was enough. Yet Satan would have us forget these facts as life's trials come our way. Instead of remembering how great our God is, we focus on the temporary problems of this life.

Look around you today and remember the great God who wants you to get to know Him!
