Happy # 12: God's Cool Creation

Posted by Patsy /Topics:
God's creation is so amazing. Take snowflakes, for example. They are so delicate and intricate. It is possible that no two are alike. Only God knows if duplicates exist. I have seen many softly falling from the sky.

These photos, of real snow crystals that fell to earth, were taken with a specially designed snowflake photomicroscope by Kenneth G. Libbrecht, a physicist. His photos are featured on postage stamps and in books.

Dr. Libbrecht's website has more stunning photos and contains a snowflake primer, which tries to answer questions like "Is it ever too cold to snow?" This is a perfect time of year to marvel at God's creation while cooling off. Do you like the delicate ones (above) or more sturdy-looking ones (left)?Photos here courtesy of Kenneth G. Libbrecht.

    In the last chapters of Job, a passage I often read to combat seeds of pride in my heart, God says, "Have you entered the storehouses of the snow?" (Job 38:22) The snow may be a beautiful mystery to us but is completely understood and intentionally designed by our Creator.

    Oh, and I love the delicate, spikey one. . .but, being a Yankee at heart, I have lots of respect for the tougher little guys, too.

    Yes, it is too cold to snow at times. I've been there. :)
    I love that God made things beautiful. He could have made things dull and uninteresting, but He didn't!
