What Einstein Considered
Einstein once observed that there are two different ways of thinking about our world. One way is to consider nothing as a miracle. And the other way is to consider everything as a miracle!
He chose the second option.
And so do I.
In Genesis we are told that when God created our world and all its amazing creatures, He pronounced everything "good." -- not OK or adequate or acceptable or interesting, but GOOD! Their creation bought Him pleasure.
Psalm 104 says, "How many are your works, LORD! In wisdom You made them all; the earth is full of Your creatures."
Witnessing His creation causes us to bow in worship and adoration! There are 5,000 known species of sponges on the ocean floor. Over 300,000 species of beetles! Multitudes of different flowers, trees, and birds.
Some are enchantingly beautiful and others are enchantingly odd. They reveal the unsearchable wealth of God's creativity, His love of beauty and color and variety even His sense of humor!
And "in wisdom He made them all." Its an invitation to us to stop and observe, marvel and explore and worship every day!
Lord, Your word tells us that Your creatures display Your existence and greatness. Open my eyes and ears today as I walk about in Your World -- help me see more about You. "In reason's ear they all rejoice, and utter forth in glorious voice, Forever singing as they shine, 'The hand that made us is divine!'"
