His life is corroded with sin. —Psalm 53:1 (TLB) We live like a little ant on this little speck of dust out in space.

Daily Devotional – God is in Nature

God is in Nature – From BillyGraham.org When I consider thy heavens . . . —Psalm 8:3 To look into a microscope is to see another universe so small that only the electronic microscope can even find it. For instance, it is revealed that one single snowflake in a snowstorm with millions of other snowflakes is the equivalent of twenty billion electrons.
