Blessed Are Those Who Believe

After reading the Bible passage that mentioned how the Lord God caused Adam to fall into a deep sleep and then took his ribs to make a woman, The British Dr. Simpson (Simpson, Sir James Young 1811-1870) believed that this was a source of finding out how to perform painless operations. With faith and after much research, Simpson discovered the properties of chloroform during an experiement and was able to operate a patient without causing pain.

The American naval officer Maury( Maury, Matthew Fontaine 1806-1873) was reading the Bible one day and was greatly shocked when he found a verse that talked about the paths of the sea. "The birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas" (Psalms 8:8). Since then he began looking for the "Paths of the seas" by charting ocean lanes. Maury made many important new contributions to modern oceanography by charting winds and ocean currents, including ocean lanes for passing ships at sea. He was the very first man to do all this. Moreover, not only are there paths of the seas, but there are also paths of the sky as well. Humans are designed as living creatures that sustain their lives through belief in things. Because of this, one's life is dictated by one's beliefs. If a person believes that one can live well through robbery, he becomes a robber. If another person believest that medical care should be offered to poor people, then he becomes like Dr. Albert Schweitzer. God's Word says'" ...blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed" (John 20:29). I live tobelieve in Jesus even though I've never touched Him with my hands. I am certain that this belief is the world's greatest blessing.
