Windows: The Creation





My friend, Ken Skinner, loaded the latest Windows programme on my computer. Now I'm good to go.

But it also set my mind roaming on a theme for the week:
"Windows into God's world." Five of them come to mind.

Today: the Window of Creation.

This window is made all the clearer because, through the eye of Hubble, a cosmos of unimaginable power, scale and beauty comes into view. Worlds beyond worlds, galaxies beyond galaxies and more beyond them.

Not only Hubble telescope but also the electron microscope unveils its own universe of the sub-atomic realm. Things of infinite size in all directions all speaking one message:

"The Glory of God."

These two worlds, the infinite and the infinitesimal, are intended to inspire the heart of men to awe and the lips of men to praise. This morning open your heart to your Creator and cross "coincidence' from your dictionary.

Somewhere in all that infinity there is a bright place called heaven to make our home. Yes, and there is a black hole called hell. Avoid it at all cost.
