Over the past few years a blockbuster novel called the Da Vinci Code came out with a controversial story about famous art, the Church and a secretive sect. I didn't read the book but I know there was some kind of secret message passed down in code form that contained some "important" information. I was thinking about God's real Code (I call it "the Victor's Code"). Over the past few days it has occurred to me that all that is living around us is formed by a code. Over the past generation we've learned a lot about DNA, the code of chemicals held in a double helix that the Lord designed to hold the specific design to all plant and animal life. His design is more than the code..it's more like the blueprints for a house and His system also includes a method of translating the blueprint into instructions for materials and labor and then implementing the construction and maintenance process. His Code maps out how life is to be formed in all its splendid variety and then makes it happen. Here's another amazing thing. All of life is formed from the basic materials found in the earth. God's Code draws upon the minerals found in the soil and the gases of the air, adds plenty of water and fashions every kind of living thing. Today as I watched a construction worker shovel sand into a cement mixer I realized that the house he was building is made of the earth, too, and following a manmade blueprint. When it comes to building things, we follow methods and use materials very much like our Creator-Father does.
We really are clay pots!
Psalm 95:5 The sea is his, for he made it,
and his hands formed the dry land.
and his hands formed the dry land.
6 Come, let us bow down in worship,
let us kneel before the LORD our Maker;
7 for he is our God
and we are the people of his pasture,
the flock under his care.
blessings,
Rob Smith
