The GLUE that holds us together...

Just watched a DVD called "How Great is our God" by speaker Louie Giglio. It was pretty incredible!

He (Louie) was talking about how inconceivably BIG our God is…how He spoke the universe into being…how He breathes stars out of His mouth that are huge raging balls of fire…etc. etc.

He made the amazing comparison.....say our earth is the size of a little golf-ball, and one of the biggest stars they have discovered out there is like the size of Mt Everest!!! What a comparison....what a great God and creator we serve!

Then He went on to speak of how this star-breathing, universe creating God ALSO knitted our human bodies together with amazing detail and wonder. I remember how I was constantly amazed during nursing school as I learned more and more about God’s handiwork. I remember so many times thinking…’How can ANYONE deny that a Creator did all of this???’

Louie went on to talk about how we can trust that the God who created all this, also has the power to hold it all together when things seem to be falling apart…how our loving Creator is also our sustainer.

Then he started talking about laminin....

I knew about laminin. But here is how wikipedia describes it:

"Laminins are a family of proteins that are an integral part of the structural scaffolding of basement membranes in almost every animal tissue."

You see….laminins are what hold us together …LITERALLY. They are cell adhesion molecules. They are what holds one cell of our bodies to the next cell. Without them, we would literally fall apart. And I knew all this already. But what I didn’t know is what laminin LOOKED LIKE.

But now I do. And I have thought about it a thousand times since (already)….

"Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things are held together [or do consist]." Col 1:12-17

Watch the following clip and tell me that our God is not the most amazing!!! He is the GLUE that holds us together…
