Welcome to 10 minute Bible Talks.

Where we connect the Bible to your life,

in the time it takes to get to work.

I'm Patrick Miller.

When you wake up... to work. I'm Patrick Miller.

When you wake up in the middle of the night, what do you fear? Perhaps a difficult day ahead, an anxious meeting, a tough conversation with a friend, or maybe you find yourself

worrying about the consequences of what happened the day before. Will he talk to me

again while I lose my job, can I do it?

Whatever you fear in the late watches of the night,

I bet you have never legitimately feared this,

that the sun wouldn't rise. It's remarkable if you stop to think about it. So much of the world

is a given, but if the given stopped giving, life itself would end. If the earth stopped spinning, we would all die. If the sun

stopped burning, we would all die, but these are ridiculous possibilities so

cosmic and grand in scale that we know that we have nothing to fear.

There's an order to the universe around us that is truly remarkable.

We take it all for granted.

Electrons, protons, and neutrons, quarks and dark matter, atoms colliding and bonding.

There's light, there's gravity, particles and waves.

This great seething mass of stuff all around us that somehow doesn't shatter apart into nothingness,

but coheres and in here such that there are galaxies, stars and planets, plants and animals, you and me.

We take all the laws of physics governing our universe for granted, forgetting that without

them there would be nothing.
