Not About Me November {Day 14} & Brag on God Friday

Matter is Not About Me

Two very smart men came up with a theory. The string theory. And while they were at the chalk board figuring the math, one of them says, "We must be getting close, the gods don't want us to get this" speaking in reference to the thunder and lightening they were hearing. 

When I heard that, I just marveled at God. How He gives things to us even when we are so prideful and unaware of Him and truth. Common grace. He gives sun and rain on the righteous and unrighteous. When scientists or mathematicians discover something, it is God revealing it. What a gift! And a lot of the time, it's something we knew from Scripture already. Things like the earth was a sphere and hung on nothing, that the universe is expanding and will be destroyed with fire. So how crazy it sounds for a smart man to say what he did. Smart yet foolish.

So I might actually be the furthest thing from a mathematician or quantum physicist but one of the things that fascinates me the most in life is seeing how God reveals Himself, especially through His Word and in His creation. Last night I was watching a show talking about The String Theory or The Theory of Everything. Basically, it is saying that through mathematics they believe that there is smaller stuff than what they originally thought. Stuff smaller than atoms or corks. Something called a string which vibrates and which brings specific form to everything. 

Or more well put, "A central concept to string theory is that the smallest components of matter are small bits of energy vibrating like the strings on a violin. These vibrations form a cosmic symphonywhich is at the heart of all reality. In the same way as a violin can produce many variation of musical notes, these strings, vibrating at different frequencies, form all the fundamental particles of the reality we observe. Our universe is the beautiful symphony produced by the resonance of all these vibrating strings."1 

Ok, seriously this fascinates me because God said and it was! That is a vibration, and just like when I talked about how God causes things to multiply, His creative multiplication is also seen in creation. No two people, snowflakes, finger prints, heart beats etc. are the same. None are the same. How creative is God! That throughout time, none the same. Wow! With tiny strings making up everything, that totally makes sense if they are all wiggling to their own specific vibration. Of course nothing would be the same.

And how incredible would it be if we all had our own unique little song, just like the stars and whales. And if the string theory is true, everything would have it's own little song. I put this video up a couple weeks ago, but I just love Louie's teaching and this video let's you hear the songs and the whales sing.

I can't believe Not About Me November is almost over. When I first began to think about this I was pretty scared. My life is so busy with ministry and kids, was I really going to be able to blog every weekday (even if it was only for 17 days)? 

But this has turned out to be such a fun blessing! It's like a brain-training camp. Filtering every thought through the filter of  "it's not about me".  Sweet friends, thank you for taking this journey with me. I have loved reading all the posts of the ladies who have linked up.
