Perfect in Power, in Love and Purity

I've been sitting here contemplating how multi-faceted, how diverse yet how unified the whole of creation is.  How it points in all its wonders to an intelligent Designer who takes the time to ensure that no two random snowflakes are ever identical, to create a brand new sunset and a brand new sunrise every day, to make the Northern Lights dance, to hang a rainbow in the sky, to make gigantic sequoia trees disappear into the mists above, and yet He hears a baby robin's cry when it falls from the nest.

It's mind-boggling.  The mighty Creator of the universe takes the trouble to create all of these magnificent works of nature not only for His own enjoyment, but He allows us to share in that enjoyment of the world He has made.

He ensures that each human being has different fingerprints.  Unique to that individual.  Just because.


I mean, He could have made us all look different from each other without the added bonus of each having a different "signature" that we leave on the world.  


I've heard it said that He reveals Himself to us in as many different ways as there are fingerprints.  That's pretty cool, because everyone has his or her own unique combination of genetics and environmental background which makes each individual different from another.  Even identical twins have differences from each other.  Just ask identical twins (haha).  The more that is discovered about the wonders of nature and of the human organism, the more I marvel that God would care enough to do that ... demonstrating His endless creativity and imagination.

Only recently have we even begun to unlock some of the mysteries bound up in our DNA.  And as much as we have learned and know about the molecule that constitutes "life", all our efforts to produce it from nothing have failed abysmally.  We have to splice together the already-created elements of life in order to do things like cloning or genetic engineering.  


No, the intricacies and the mysteries of the universe are for us to ponder - but that's about as far as it can go. God, on the other hand, works miracles like this one every single minute of every single day.  His Power, His Love, and His Purity are astounding.  They are perfect - holding to a symmetry that goes far beyond our ability to conceive.  And if that happens in the natural world, how much more, how much deeper it must be in the supernatural!
