I Can’t Wrap My Head Around It!

I’ve always wanted to be a guitarist. Ever since the 3rd grade, when I carried a guitar around strumming tunes without chords, until I took classical guitar after our 3rd year of marriage. Rebecca worked at Carmalou’s House of Music, teaching piano, and I took lessons from one of the most interesting guys. He said he had played for Gladys Night and the Pips. He also attended church with his wife, and though not a believer felt he should write Christian songs (no one else was). One evening, as we were tuning our guitars, he sad that the universe was made of music. At the time I thought he was just a little out of tune, but he might not be to far off. As one blogger noted!

The logic is that sound waves are a force that travel through particles, and you had every single particle possible. So it was a reaction with the entire universe. It had the power to create the universe in that one instant, so is it such a large leap in logic to say that God was the one who utilized that moment?

In the Bible, Genesis 1:3 states "And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. " It simply shows the power of God speaking. In John 1: 1-3 it also states "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. " He was the Word, a spoken form of sound. Even when the angels are interacting with God like in Job 38: 4-7.

Particles, waves, mathmatics, it’s all very overwhelming to me. Consider the following standard model equation.

Unless you’re a Math Nerd (no offense intended) it won’t make any difference if I make the picture bigger. The equation is suppose to explain how everything works. I’ll take their word for it. Here are some pictures of the beauty of math.The beauty and scope of math and imagination is amazing, but if such beauty can de derived from what we (some people) can comprehend, how much more can come from the mind and magnificence of the unfathomable God of Creation.

“Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! “For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor? Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid?” For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.” Romans’ 11:33-36.

When we stop to worship, whether in church on Sunday Morning, or in our daily devotions, if we can get lost in the mystery of our Great God our worship would be purer, deeper, and more magnificent. I’m just saying...
