Francis Chan in his book Crazy Love points out to the incredible complexity of creation, which bears witness to the Creator. Did you know that the caterpillar has two hundred twenty-eight distinct and clearly separate muscles in its head? This is quite a lot for an insect. Average elm has about six million leaves. And our heart by pumping blood creates such pressure that the blood would spurt up to five meters. On the one square mile of an Amazon jungle live 3000 different species of trees. And can you understand that spiders produce three types of silk? When they build nets, they produce twenty meters of silk in an hour. Corals are so sensitive, that if the water temperature changes by only one or two degrees they may die. And what about the simple fact that plants absorb carbon dioxide (which is harmful for us) and produce oxygen (which we need in order to survive)? Author of the book, after naming diversities, creativity and ingenuity in space, on the Earth and in our body, is right when he says, that the sense of everything is to glorify God. The art of God says about Him and expresses who God is and what His character is.
I have just returned from the children camp, which we organized this year in Račková valley. We have returned back with amazing experiences from there. In one day we experienced how our Lord Jesus was changing the hearts of children; some of them were even healed as well. I tried to make use of every free moment for me to run off into the woods and watched the beautiful nature of High Tatra if only for just a few minutes. I veered from the marked trail and my "Bratislava" soul admired itself in the virgin mountain surroundings intact. Yes, it is thousand times better than to run a runaway after hypermarkets or toasting in the sun on a crowded pool.
I recommend you to take a moment to lie down on the grass and watch treetops and clouds, which in various changing shapes move slowly across the sky. You would literally look to the heaven ... God will suddenly be closer to you than ever. Just have a chat with for a minute, then rise up and go back to work. You will find out that your day will be a little better, nicer and calmer. And maybe you will be able to perceive God's touch also at other times during your busy agenda.
