Reading – Isaiah 40:21-31

Highlight Verse:

“God sits above the circle of the earth. The people below seem like grasshoppers to him! He spreads out the heavens like a curtain and makes his tent from them.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭40‬:‭22‬ ‭NLT‬‬

I was a Physics major in college…

For one year.

When I flunked Calculus (officially took an incomplete) I realized that I would not be a great scientist.

I was reminded tonight while helping my daughter with homework that

math is integral to physics.

But I still love science.

That’s why today’s verse delights me.

I know the Bible is not intended to be a science textbook.

Despite that, every once in a while, I run a across a verse like this that shows an understanding of science beyond that of the civilization that existed at that time.

At a time when the Earth was thought to be flat, Isaiah described the Earth as being round. He then gives an aerial description of the land.

I’d say he had an inside view from the Creator.

What other science have you seen confirmed in the Bible?
Does the accurate presentation of science in the Bible affect your faith?
