This week’s comment: OVERWHELMED BY CREATION

The great test of every Christian is not preaching what he’s learned, but living what he preaches.

“How many are Your works, O Lord! In wisdom You made them all.” Psalm 104:24 One day in Hyde Park, London, author Frank Sheed was speaking about the remarkable order and design of the universe, when a heckler shouted. “Even I could make a better universe than your God!” Unruffled, Sheed replied, “I won’t ask you to do that today, but would you mind making a rabbit just to establish credibility?” Know what? If the earth was as small as the moon, its gravitation couldn’t sustain our needs. On the other hand, if it were as large as Jupiter, its extreme gravitation would make human movement almost impossible. If we were as close to the sun as Venus, the heat would be unbearable; if we were as far away as Mars, every region would experience snow and ice nightly. If the oceans were half their size, we’d get only 25% of our present rainfall. If they were one-eighth larger, annual precipitation would increase 400% turning the earth into a vast, uninhabitable swamp. Water solidifies at 32 degrees below zero. But if the oceans were subject to that law, the amount of thawing in the Polar Regions wouldn’t balance out and we’d all end up encased in ice. To prevent this catastrophe, God put salt in the sea to alter its freezing point. David said, “How many are your works, O Lord! In wisdom You made them all…I will sing praises to my God as long as I live”. Ps 104:24-33 If God’s workmanship doesn’t make you want to stop and praise Him, what would? Jenny Klein
