JOURNAL ENTRY ONE

            The readings from Psalm 111:1-10 shows clear evidence that God’s work is excellent, the author starts by praising the name of the Lord, for the good work He has done. The author says that the righteousness of the Lord endures forever. The work of his hands is faithful and just. The book shows that God has done the things that no human being was capable of doing it. Therefore we should always fear the Lord for us to gain wisdom. Concerning the book of Genesis, God created all things in the world, and on the sixth day, he created a man to be taking care of all creatures. This is a great job, and so as a human being, we should always trust in God’s work and the words he says because they are right.

Yes, I have experienced several delights in creation. I can say that I enjoy nature every single day that God wakes me up. Breathing fresh air, drinking clean water, and even living in a friendly environment are among the creations that I enjoy every day, and I can say that no one can be compared with our God because he provides for us all these things for free. Psalm 111, is a book for the scientists, the book connects the work of God in his creation together with the work he does for the salvation. The book encourages scientists in verse two that they should do good work like him. The book finally reminds scientists that they should first fear the Lord for him to grant them wisdom to conduct research successfully. R.J.BERRY was a Christian and a scientist who was devoted to the work of God, and he encouraged other people to be humble before God as well as doing what God needs us to do.

Psalm 111 reminds us that we should always remember the great work that God did; we should enjoy the beauty of the nature that was freely provided by God. We should take care of all the things as a way of acknowledging the excellent work that our creator did, and above all, we should remain faithful and righteousness to ourselves because we are also the work of his hand.

JOURNAL TWO; NATURE’S LAW AND NATURE’S LAWGIVER

Science is filled with ideas and assumptions that flow out of Christianity. One example is the idea of the ‘laws of nature ‘The notion that life works according to natural laws in incredibly powerful and not self-evident at all-unless you believe in a creator God, a lawgiver for nature’s laws.

Several factors can make the experiment to be repeated; for instance: Experiment are repeated to get the best and the accurate result. Second, it can be repeated if, within the course of experimenting, there was a lot of disturbance, and if there wa insufficient information of evidence as it was expected. Third, if the scientists request the experiment to be repeated to prove that the result provided is useful and they qualify to be used by users. For instance, chemistry, physic, and biology experiments may require it to be redone again to prove the results are trust as well as assuring students that the investigations are not harmful.

Isaac Barrow meant that he assumes that decrees of God are not changing hence making him not expect results that are consistent in numbers of experiments towards holding the true ever after.

The author starts by reminding us that we are supposed to praise the name of our Lord for it is the command that was created at his commandment. From this scriptures, we are reminded of the natural laws that God created to all human beings,where we are supposed to praise Him always. He ordered all creators such us ocean, lighting and hail, snow and the clouds and winds to praise Him name because we are all his creatures and the work of his hand. The verses remind us that the significant work that God assigned us to be doing after creating us is to praise  Him always because nothing we can give him to make him happy other than the praise. The laws provided by the government where if we break them, sometimes we are not punished, and sometimes we are disciplined and do them again. In the natural law, there is the reward from God; for instance, if you praise and worship God genuinely and make him happy, he always blesses you and fulfills all your needs being an assurance that his words are right.Therefore we are advised to praise His name only and not only us but all creators to as to fulfill the desire of God.

The difference between God’s law and God’s natural laws in nature includes: God’s moral laws are defined as the instruction which shows the rules that lead people to heaven and the evil that makes people be away from God. For instance, in the first commandment, you shall have no other God. Therefore people worship only God; they will go to heaven, but if they have their evil gods, they will go to heal. On the other hand, God’s natural law is the laws which involve the revelation of God in human being in both physical and moral codes.For instance, Christians have the belief that they can know the will of God when they see something good or bad.

The similarities are that they all God-given laws, and He expects us to follow them because He rewards those who follow His commandments, and he also punishes those who do not follow his rule.Second, the two law encourages us to do as per the will of God and everything that God wishes us to do because he is our father and as usual any parent expects his children to be obedient.
