Outline:
Psalm 8:3 When I consider thy heavens, the works of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou has ordained, what is man that thou art mindful of him...?
Many people see the vastness of space and wonder if there is a God, and, if He is there, why He should care about us.
If we just heed this advice and ’consider the heavens’ we’ll get our answer!
1. The first heaven
Our atmosphere: including many facts about earth which point us to God, and data about the sun and moon and the other planets in our solar system which show us God is the designer.
2. The second heaven
The cosmos: including our galaxy and the rest of the universe which further make proofs of God’s existence and care for man.
Many scientists are seeing for the first time that Somebody must be behind it all and because many scientists are seeing design everywhere they look... some are seeing a Designer!
...and are being drawn into the Third Heaven - the presence of God
3. The third heaven
Glory: if this whole universe is flooded with design, then maybe the Bible is correct, they say
if the Bible is correct, so are His promises to take care of us and fill us with abundant life
if He has so meticulously taken care of this Whole Place, how much more will He take care of you, for whom He sacrificed Himself?
What’s better than Him taking care of us now?
Some day all the saved will be caught up into the other dimensions of the Third Heaven, into a New Creation, a place He’s prepared for us, to spend eternity with Him.
