Louis Pasteur (1822-1895) was one of the greatest scientists of all time. His discoveries in vaccines, pasteurization, and germ theory have literally saved millions of lives.
But he was more than just a microbiologist or chemist. He was a man who saw that true science points to God.
Pasteur is often credited with saying:
“The more I study nature,
the more I stand amazed
at the work of the Creator.”
Louis Pasteur
Every new discovery wasn’t a reason to boast in human knowledge—it was a reason to marvel at divine wisdom.
Take time today to look at God’s creation and see how great God is.
Step outside. Look at the sky, a tree, or even the smallest flower, and remember this is God’s handiwork.
Lift up your eyes on high and see:
who created these?
Isaiah 40:26 (ESV)
God has made it clear that His creation reveals who He is, and God holds people accountable to recognize Him.
For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made.
Romans 1:18-25 (ESV)
Don’t suppress the truth.
Don’t choose to become a fool.
Like Pasteur, choose to be amazed by the Creator.
Before I go, I’d like to share a blessing with you from the Old Testament.
“May the Lord bless and protect you; may the Lord’s face radiate with joy because of you; may he be gracious to you, show you his favor, and give you his peace.”
Numbers 6:24-26 (The Living Bible)
Until next time … be the reason someone smiles today.
