Man has invented (or realized) many items.  He tells his brother that his life is better for all the things they have made.  First came steel.  Then came the computer chip.  And man is boasting quite loudly that his hand has been able to save him.  From what?

God spun the world and all items of creation from absolutely nothing.  Man refers to the big bang.  God says He just spoke and the universe, in all its complexities, came into being.

Man makes a car.  Absolutely straight wheels glide the chassis and body down relatively smooth roads.  And with this invention, man’s world is transformed.

God makes a cloud rise up.  Turmoil between heat and cold eventually provoke a lightning strike.  Though lightning seems to us arbitrary, God does not see it that way.  He tells us the lightening answers to Him, “Here I Am.”

It comes from the cloud.  Traces the most random appearing path to the ground possible.  Then hits exactly the spot on the earth that God intended it to hit.  Amazing precision through apparent random behavior.  But this is the nature of God’s ways.  It is man’s way to control nature.  It is God’s way to use what is natural to perform absolutely perfectly precise tasks.

Man invented the car.  God created man’s feet.  And what a difference between the results of both.  Everything man does is destined to collapse.  Everything God does is destiny.
