Periodic Table and God

 

^{John 1  (MSG)}

^1-2 The Word was first,
    the Word present to God,
    God present to the Word.
The Word was God,
    in readiness for God from day one.

^3-5 Everything was created through him;
    nothing—not one thing!—
    came into being without him.
What came into existence was Life,
    and the Life was Light to live by.
The Life-Light blazed out of the darkness;
    the darkness couldn’t put it out.

 The Periodic Table and God

Lithium, Boron, Carbon, Nitrogen, Cadmium, and Iridium. Only a fraction of the elements that form the periodic table. The 100 plus basic elements that we have thus far discovered of all that exists is from the Lord. He holds all and formed all. The Living bible states it like this “³ He created everything there is—nothing exists that he didn’t make. “Recently I saw in my minds eye the Lord God holding the periodic table in his hands. And I was reminded of the above bible verse. That all the evil and yuck we can imagine began from his original creation. The basic compounds of our being but also that which exists is not out of his ability to control. He formed it all and then allowed us to mess with it (think Glyphosate/round up).  Though we may have manipulated the basic elements to cause destruction (atomic bomb etc.). His mighty hand holds it all.  I feel as if the invitation is to not fear but also begin to grab hold of these compounds and use them for his glory. That we the bride are being called to grab hold of all that he created even at the basic level. That we are to partner with him in prayer and ask how to wrestle back his building blocks of life from the enemy
