Living in God's Glory

imperfection into a perfect world, like allowing satan to pollute a heavenly atmosphere with his evil. The power of God and his desire for perfection, which are in evidence everywhere in the universe, refute the supposition that this state of affairs (i.e., the perversion produced by man) will continue. God’s power will certainly not give man the license to perpetrate such a crime indefinitely. it is against God’s sublime conception of beauty and perfection to bear with such conduct. The coming of the day when this contradiction will end is an absolute certainty. May God’s will be done in this human world as in the rest of the universe. THE SIGNS OF GOD The universe is a sign from God. This is because it mirrors the image of the Creator in the form of creation. Therefore, one who observes the universe without prejudice will find God. When James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879), the celebrated scottish physicist, so marvellously expressed the laws of electromagnetic interactions in equations, the great austrian physicist, ludwig Boltzmann, looked at them and exclaimed, “Was it a God who wrote these signs?” (From the introductory monologue of Goethe’s Faust, vol. 1, pg. 96)
