The well-known
theologian Charles Hodge wrote about his early years at Princeton: “It was my
privilege to be the pupil-assistant of Professor Joseph Henry, the illustrious
scientist. When, for the first time,
electric signals were sent from point to point, the earth itself being used for
the return current, Professor Henry put me at one end of the circuit, while he
stood directing the experiments at the other.
I can well remember the wonderful care with which he arranged them. Very often, when the testing moment came, he
would raise his hand in adoring reverence and call upon me to uncover my head
and worship in silence. He would say,
‘Because God is here. I am about to ask
Him a question.’”
Professor
Henry was a God-fearing man and recognized the Almighty’s presence in
creation. He, therefore entered into his
experiments depending upon the Lord for the right solutions. He believed that the voice of God could be
heard in the universe, for the Bible says, “Day unto day uttereth speech,
and night unto night showeth knowledge”
(Psalm 19:2). Yes, we can hear
Him speak, as it were through the light and laws of nature. But the Almighty has also spoken through the prophets
of old; through His written Word, the Bible; and through the Living Word, the
Lord Jesus Christ.
In nature we
can learn about God’s greatness, power, and intelligence. But His Word and His Son reveal most clearly
His love, mercy, grace, will, and plan of redemption.
Remember, GOD
IS SPEAKING! He tells us all we need to
know. It’s up to us to listen!
What to
do:
✞Be good listeners (James
1:19).
✞Be good doers (James
1:22).
