His Elemental Glory

Of the most common elements in the Universe the top five are from the first ten elements listed in the Periodic Table (H, He, O, C, Ne) with Nitrogen close behind at number seven. Hydrogen and Helium make up 94% of all elements by mass. From just four of the first ten elements: Hydrogen, Carbon, Nitrogen and Oxygen; the majority of compounds found in all living things can be built.

God, in His creation, has taken just a few and created the multitude. If we look at the world from the vastness of the heavens to the smallest of atomic structures, we see a pattern of design that could not occur randomly. It is through this lens we come to learn of His divine glory and power. Romans 1:20 says "For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God." (NLT) We just need to open our eyes to know Him.
