All Things Hold Together

I have a son who is very intelligent and interesting to talk to – I may be prejudiced, of course, but I think not. 

My favorite subject is Jesus and the Bible; let’s just say that’s not his favorite subject. But I love it when we have a discussion (with him being brilliant and me being suitably impressed) when my favorite subject dovetails so perfectly with what he’s talking about. 

 

This conversation stands out as a perfect example.  He was telling me about the structure of atoms and how at the sub-atomic level (please don’t expect great scientific information from me) the positive and negative charges on the protons and electrons, in many cases, should cause the particle to fly apart and yet for some reason they don’t.

Enter Colossians 1:16-17 (NAS) “For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities -all things have been created through Him and for Him.  17 He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.” 

Turns out our God is pretty smart after all!!
