[Selah (Hebrew): a musical mark, an instruction to pause and listen, to contemplate]
The Universe is infinitely great, mirroring the quantum vastness inside every atom.
Universe and atom, each turning with their own perfect precision: order, structure, harmony; under the dictate of laws laid down by their unseen Sovereign.
Measure the span of height and depth, heat and cold, light and darkness, motion and stillness; the totality of Everything.
Every bit, every particle, each crumb in existence is internally in endless, vibrant motion, yet having form and substance.
Massive and timeless: an iceberg, a mountain, a planet; they remain steadfast and unshakable belying the churning motion within.
Matter takes form, an entanglement of particles like beads on a string, laid up strand upon strand.
Each bead seemingly without substance: full of infinitesimal space, a blur of energy and sub-particles spinning in constant orbit; like a galaxy inside a raindrop.
O Lord, our Father. How wonderful this Your handiwork. You spoke the neutrino and the star into being.
One day, freed from our limiting veil of flesh, we shall sit at Your feet and see the vastness of Your Creation with You.
Selah.
