Algae and Diatoms

Algae and Diatoms

" What's a diatom? I asked my friend. I was leaning over her shoulder looking at pictures on her cell phone she had taken through a microscope. " oh, it's like algae, but it's harder to see. Sometimes you need a drop of oil on the lens or they have to be dead to see them," she explained. I sat amazed as she scrolled through the pictures. I couldn't stop thinking about the intricate detail God put into life that we can only see with a microscope!

God's creation and works are endless. In the book of Job, one of Job's friends, Elihu, points this out to Job as he struggles through his loss. Elihu challenges his friend, " Listen to this, Job; stop and consider God's wonders. Do you know how God controls the clouds and makes his lightning flash? Do you know how the clods hang poised, those wonders of him who has perfect knowledge?". We, as humans, can't begin to understand the complexity of God and His creation.

Even the parts of creation we can't see reflect God's glory and power. His glory surrounds us. No matter what we're going through, God is working, even when we can't see it and don't understand. Let's praise Him today, for " He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted".

Lord, thank You for the detail You put into creation and for being at work even when we can't see it.

God is always working.
