...and other turns of phrase. Actually there is something very simple I find very profound.
I was up in the Rockies up near Long's Peak on Saturday for a family camp. It was after the last of the talks by the conference speaker and I was down watching the other men throw horseshoes. It got to be time for lunch and as we headed up towards the cafeteria I picked up a rock that caught my eye. It was an interesting rock (I have it here). I put it in my pocket to look at later and forgot about it until this morning after teaching Sunday School. I found the rock in a pocket and took a long look at it.
Yes, it's a rock and there are millions and trillions of others and that's what makes it so amazing. Looking down at this rock it hit me: God planned this rock since before the creation of the world. He designed every line, every angle, every shade on it and He knows everything about it. And I can't even keep everything about it in my mind. I never would have imagined the shape of it, and each time I look away the details go away. And to have a God who does that in exquisite detail for not just this rock but for every single thing in the universe....! And He made this rock explicitly for His own glory and it fills its purpose exactly. It is an amazing thought.
