March 29, 2014 Psalm 23
Saturday 1 Samuel 15:32-34
John 1:1-9
A
fish, if it perceives its world, knows only water with a rare glimpse of an
astounding “otherness”, if it momentarily leaps into air. Once, humans looked
up and perceived the sky as the highpoint of their knowledge of the physical
world, until we learned to fly.
Our
boundaries keep expanding! We did not sail off the edge of the earth so long
ago, and today we are challenged to ponder black holes and parallel universes.
There
is a biblical verse that says “I have many more things to tell you, but you
cannot bear them now” John 16:12.
I
suppose one hundred years from now our current knowledge will seem elementary.
Isn’t it reassuring to read John who reminds us that “In the beginning was the
Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Through Him all things came to be, and without
him, nothing came to be. Through him was life, and this life was the light of
the human race. The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not
overcome it”.
Creator
God, You have said, “Be still and know that I am God”. Let us not fear the unfolding
of knowledge. This is your creation and
all things in it.
