Full System Scan

Posted in Uncategorized by non-meta stephen on March 7th, 2007

This weekend I had to renew and upgrade my Internet security program, a seemingly simple task which required several hours of downloading, installing, uninstalling, redownloading, etc. At the end of it, I was told to run a full system scan. Which took so long that I had to cancel it twice before finally letting it run while I went to my office for the day.

I don’t know if the scan was slower than normal, but as I watched the number of scanned files slowly increase, I couldn’t believe my simple laptop could even hold that many files. Good grief–how complicated this machine is!

I then realized how small my laptop, with all its files, is compared to the majesty and intricacy of the universe. And yet God is able to scan the remotest reaches in less than the blink of an eye. God sees it all, knows all that is going on, down to the subatomic level.

How is this possible? And how could God, with so much to watch and care for, even notice us?

“When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have ordained…” (Ps. 8.3).

How majestic is God’s name, now and forevermore. All honor and praise and glory be to God, the Creator, Redeemer and Sustainer of the Universe!

Amen!
