Nice design!!!


Clever, very clever!!!  If I didn't know that the left frame could become the right, I would look at it and think it was some strange sort of statue.  Conversely, if I walked into a room and the right frame was the only thing I saw, I wouldn't think it could become the frame on the left.  In either case I would automatically realize that someone had designed them, someone who has a talent or capability far beyond my humble abilities.  Which lead me to the following passage from the book of Romans....

Romans, Chapter 1
 16 For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, for it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes; for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.  17 For in it is revealed God’s righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, “But the righteous shall live by faith.”  18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,  19 because that which is known of God is revealed in them, for God revealed it to them.  20 For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse.  21 Because, knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, neither gave thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened.

Humans can do a great deal; we can send men to the moon, make huge dams (like the Hoover dam) and make enormous machines like the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland to investigate the smallest particles in the universe.  But, we can not make a star, or enter into a black hole, or travel to the farthest visible galaxy in the universe.  We have limitations; there are things out there that are beyond our control and may always be so.  Enter the perception of God.  Look up; see the stars, they just didn't happen by accident.  All creation works in a vast inter-harmony of design.  If the orbit of our planet changed even a few degrees life here would be eradicated.  We live in a world dependent on exactness.  Something (or rather someone) must have designed it.  To think otherwise is sheer arrogance.  This is nothing new; humans have a tendency towards this.  World War II happened because of it.  Hitler tricked the Germans into believing they could and perhaps would be supermen if they could only eliminate the untramench (the subhuman humans, specifically the Jews).  Today, our educational system is infected with those who exalt man and abhor the very idea of God.  Their hearts are darkened and they teach those under their charge to be the same.  My prayer for them is revelation of the knowledge of God.  Just look at the furniture once again and think.  God is waiting; are you really looking?  Next step... read verse sixteen again and realize that this applies to you, too!!!
