GLORY OF GOD

Dear Reader,

Remember we used to carry a feature entitled GLORY OF GOD? Why don’t you help us to continue it with your own contributions?

Here is what you could do. You could, if you live photography, take a nice photo of any interesting and beautiful landscape. Or else, it could be a picture of a bird or a beautiful flower or whatever. Sunsets, clouds, and even rain – all have inherent beauty. And beauty is God!

Or else, you could write a few words about some wonder of Nature. For example, there are so many wonderful things taking place inside the human body. If you wish, you may draw attention to such matters.

Nature too is packed with wonders wherever you turn. For example, we all know that ice, which is solid water, has lower density that liquid water; that is why ice floats on water. In this respect, ice is quite unique since most solids are more dense than the corresponding liquid. But do you know that there is a deep reason why God made ice lighter than water? So that it could float. Now why on earth did God want that? Because once ice floats on sea, it prevents the water below from freezing. How is that? Because ice is a poor conductor of heat [and that is why Eskimos use ice for building their igloos!] OK, ice floats and has poor heat conductivity. So what? Ah, that is where God’s compassion comes into the picture. You see, because of the poor thermal conductivity, the water in the lower levels of the Artic Ocean and the Southern Ocean does not freeze. As a result, fish are able to survive.

You see the world is full of wonders. If you know about some of these, why don’t you share it with the rest of the Sai family?

Give it a try!
