And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:7
“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” Psalm 19:1
I am certain that everyone is aware that there will be a solar eclipse on Monday April 8th. I am also pretty certain that there will also be an April 9th. You see, there are some conspiracy theorists who are using yet another natural, predictable physical phenomenon to say that this is an omen of some far deeper man-made nefarious plot. That maybe the world is going to end, or lives will be terribly disturbed by the eclipse and scientific studies done on it. Indeed, some of those conspiracy folks are making money on huckstering the natural event.
And yes, there are actually people who really believe that the earth is flat, and that QAnon is a viable predictor of truths hidden from regular folks. Yes, there is a conspiracy for every taste.
As my readers know, I am both a man of faith and a man of science. The God of Creation has brought into existence a world of literally unfathomable majesty and awe. I am convinced that we will never totally understand the fullness of this marvelous universe.
So, we were made to be curious, and we do seek to understand this marvelous creation. At the same time, God gave us reasonable, logical minds to bring to bear on understanding this world. So, let us pursue those truths and not be distracted by leaps beyond logic that play into conspiracy theories.
I trust that my readers live in the peace that passes all understanding, and that our faith in God overrides any fears that conspiracies may try to muster.
Prayer: Lord, you know how you have made us, and you desire for us peace based upon your faithfulness, Amen
