We understand how storms are created. We map solar systems
and transplant hearts. We measure the depths of the oceans and send signals to
distant planets. We… have studied the system and are learning how it works.
And, for some, the loss of mystery has led to the loss of
majesty. The more we know, the less we believe. Strange, don’t you think?
Knowledge of the workings shouldn’t negate wonder. Knowledge should stir wonder.
Who has more reason to worship than the astronomer who has seen the stars? Than
the surgeon who has held a heart? Than the oceanographer who has pondered the
depths? The more we know, the more we should be amazed.
Ironically, the more we know, the less we worship. We are
more impressed with our discovery of the light switch than with the One who
invented electricity… Rather than worship the Creator, we worship the creation
(see Romans 1:25).
No wonder there is no wonder. We’ve figured it all out.

Through my website -- DAVID T WILKINSON PHOTOGRAPHY -- I have tried to express
some of this wonder that Max Lucado is talking about. Visit www.davidt-wilkinson.pixels.com.
