The Glue of the Galaxies

March 5, 2025

Ponder This

Every atom by nature would fly apart except that God has built into every atom an attraction that holds it together, and He has built gravitational force into the Universe. What some call the law of nature is the power of Jesus. He is the One who keeps it all together; He is the glue of the galaxies. Go out and look at the skies. We can study all about the sky and stars, but we can’t make these beautiful wonders. Yet our God has made them effortlessly.

Joyce and I took a vacation some years ago down on a little island in the Bahamas where there was no television and no air conditioning. It was just a little place there on the beach; we loved it. There was a dock out in front, and Joyce and I’d go down on the dock and look up at the stars and marvel at the Universe at night. God gives all of these stars names (Isaiah 40:26). These miraculous stars are ninety billion trillion miles away. When we remember He is the Producer and Preserver of creation on such a large scale, we are reminded that He is in control, even when all of life feels out of control.

• What of God’s creation amazes you? When was the last time you worshiped God for holding together His creation?
• How does knowing God is the Creator of all things change the way you look at the world and interact with it?

Practice This

Step outside and look at something that God has created. Observe it and thank God for how intricately and intentionally He made it. Worship Him for holding all things together.
