Wow! I continue to be awed by the displays of the the wonder of His Word. His Word is truly a light in the darkness, and not just ordinary and white....but full of imagination and wonder and beauty!!! Praise be to God the Father, the author and Creator.

It is interesting to note that what separates us also, often, could bring us together. We just don't see it because we don't have to. A worldwide trauma would certainly enable people to, willfully, set aside these different differences. The spectrum of colors represented in the accomplished work is comprised of the "visible" colors of light. Visible to us. Science teaches us of another complete "spectrum" of light that exists outside our ability to see with our own eyes. Imagine the cross-references that God asks us to see and we cannot due to our narrow-sightedeness. Also, remember the coincidence that certain serpent/snake species "see" via the infra-red wavelength.

This is amazing ... I found this quote today that I thought really summarizes this photo to me: "The great discovery is that the Bible is a message system: it's not simply 66 books penned by 40 authors over thousands of years, the Bible is an integrated whole which bears evidence of supernatural engineering in every detail."

I wonder if a more intergrated reading plan could be developed using this graph pattern that would help connect the various parts of the Bible? I am using an old reading plan where you begin with a chapter a day out of 5 different places in the Bible. Pecos, TX

God puts rainbows in the sky, oil slicks, prisms, and also in Scripture - he keeps reminding us of his promises to us! Will we believe him?
