The Miracle of Life

诸天述说神的荣耀，穹苍传扬他的手段。这日到那日发出言语，这夜到那夜传出知识。无言无语，也无声音可听。

——诗19:1-3

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handiwork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
—Psalm 19:1–3

自然界中有一种言语在诉说神的存在，这是一种井然有序，温柔动听，满有智慧的言语。不久前，一位科学家告诉我，他开始认真思考宇宙的秩序，和宇宙间遵循的永恒不变的规律。他不禁相信了神，而且已经意识到神藉着大自然在向我们诉说。

神通过季节的必然性和规律性、通过日月星辰的精密运动、通过昼夜交替、通过地球上生命耗氧和植物产氧、通过新生儿的哭声在诉说生命的奇迹。

There is a language in nature that speaks of the existence of God. It is the language of order, beauty, perfection, and intelligence. Some time ago a scientist told me that when he gave serious thought to the majestic order of the universe and its obedience to unchanging law, he could not help but believe in God. He had become aware that God was speaking through nature.

God speaks in the certainty and regularity of the seasons; in the precision of the movements of the sun, the moon, and the stars; in the regular coming of night and day; in the balance between man’s consumption of life-giving oxygen and its production by the plant life of the earth; and even in the cry of a newborn child with its ever-new dimension of the miracle of life.

今日祷告：

上帝啊，这美好的一日将使我们永远铭记你的伟大创造！

Prayer for the day

The beauty of this day will be a constant reminder of the magnificence of You, God.
