Real Hope: The Wonder of Creationናሙና

Wow - Wonder Of Wonders!

Many years ago I was asked to instruct a class of kindergarten children on how to praise God, so I prepared some nature slides and taught them to say ‘WOW’ – Wonder of Wonders! Perhaps the class was for me as I continue to be in child-like awe of God’s Created World.

I do have some scientific training, a diploma in agriculture, a career in intensive animal production, skills as an avian pathologist, and a mind hungry to know and learn. But I’m still in awe of God’s incredible designs in the seen and unseen worlds. At every level of the created world, there is order and balance. From the micro sub-atomic level of atoms to the macro universe (or universes) of dark matter, black holes, and dark flow, the fingerprints of God’s plans are visible to the humble seeker.

We are often tempted to believe ‘that the science is in’, that we know all there is to know when the opposite is true. Science provides many answers but many more questions and an abundance of awe and wonders if we only have the mind and heart for it. Can I suggest that we step back to see God in His creation and lean in to know Him more?
