Hebrews 11:3, “By faith we understand that the worlds were
prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was made from things that are
not visible.”
Word
Painters use canvas and colors. Writers use syllables and
sentences. Potters shape clay and musicians a symphony. All begin with
available materials, then imagine and dream and create things that are new,
things that can be touched—tasted—seen—sung, all visible.
God spoke the universe into being: atoms and molecules,
oxygen and carbon dioxide, veins and muscles, fish and fowl—humans. Scientists
investigate, categorize every substance they can detect or discover. We learn
what it is now but not always from where it came.
Planted within us scripture words take a new life under the
Spirit’s leading. Stone hearts pulse with love. Stagnant minds grow in
contemplation. Weak knees begin to pray. A cycle grows. As nature’s laws wheel
the seasons around God’s standards, so prayer words reach heaven’s altar to
receive cleansing and return in power.
God speaks new life into our emptiness. Shapes our chaos
into beauty. Showers our wounds with balm. Our barren deserts become gardens, a
welcome respite for fellow travelers. Not a mirage. An oasis made out of things
not visible.
