As we get to the end of today's reading, God finally speaks: And He said to the human race, "The fear of the Lord--that is wisdom, and to shun evil is understanding." Wow! In just one sentence He sums up everything. When I consider the vast amount of accumulated knowledge, the level of technological sophistication, the accomplishments I have witnessed in my short sojourn, I cannot help but to stand in open-mouthed amazement! That is, until I compare all of that to the complexity of the processes taking place this moment as my eyes scan what my fingers work at forming, through the direction of my brain as it transmits synapsis through my nervous system...as I consider the One who created this living organism, after He had created everything else! Suddenly all of our feats seem so small, so insignificant. It is then that I must acknowledge the awesome power of our sovereign God. Oh Lord, as I stand in awe, please create in me a heart of understanding, the strength to shun evil and to do what is right in your sight. Amen, and amen!
