I was looking through those magical photos taken through the Hubble telescope, of the universe beyond the reach of our gaze! Wow! The colours and awe-inspiring pageantry of star clusters and gases, all twisted and woven together with dramatic abandon, are almost beyond my ability to grasp as real! They're more beautiful, even from our vast distance, than any earthly artist's creations! And those galaxies and nebulae continue on beyond the reach of our greatest telescope! How vast and amazing our universe! And how incredible and awesome must be the being who breathed them into existence!! I would almost feel unnoticeable to him in the vastness of it all ... except for what I see at the other end of the spectrum.
If we follow the focus of our strongest microscopes, once again our minds are awestruck! The incredible patterning and intricacies of even the most minute particles, that without these scopes is beyond our ability to notice, is just mind-blowing. And that even applies to things that are incredibly transient - like a snowflake! If God puts so much attention to detail into tiny things that no-one can see, even those things that are not blessed with the spark that is 'life', how much attention do you think he puts into you....?
