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!!
