b'Have you ever assembled an aquarium? If so, you understand how certain requirements must be met to create an ideal habitat for fish. Some species require fresh water, others salt. Some thrive with companions; others prefer to live alone. Temperature must be adjusted, a bubbler installed, and the right kind of food provided. If your fish are to survive, you need to plan your aquarium very carefully.\\nGod paid the same attention to detail when He created the earth. When we examine all the provisions He made for us to thrive on our beautiful planet, it becomes obvious these things didn\\u2019t spring up by chance. God created the earth specifically, with a very intentional design in mind. Consider just these few details:\\n\\u2022 God created oceans full of water for us to use, as well as the weather patterns required to cycle it in usable Forms across the entire earth.\\u2022 God created a way to recycle oxygen so we\\u2019d never run out of breathable air.\\u2022 God covered the earth in a protective atmosphere.\\u2022 God set the earth in motion with precision. Longer days and nights would result in extreme temperatures and lock our water supply in a solid or gaseous state.\\u2022 When God tilted the earth on an axis, He extended the growing season far into the north and south.\\nIsn\\u2019t God amazing? None of the other planets can claim even one of these life-sustaining qualities, yet ours has them all! When we study God\\u2019s handiwork, we can see how wise, purposeful, and creative He truly is. \\u2022 Michelle Isenhoff\\n\\u2022 Can you think of other precise details within creation that give evidence of a Creator?\\nFor the Lord is God, and he created the heavens and earth and put everything in place. He made the world to be lived in, not to be a place of empty chaos. \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153I am the Lord,\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d he says, \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153and there is no other.\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d Isaiah 45:18 (NLT)\\n\\xa0\\nRead Verses:\\nEphesians 1:3-14'
