Birch Tree Pollen

In Psalm 139, Scripture tells us that you can never get to the end of God.

 

Where can I go from Your spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?

If I ascend into heaven, You are there.

If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there Your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me.”                                                                                     

The photo, above, is an electron microscope picture taken at 1000X magnification.
The perfect little pointy spheres are grains of birch tree pollen, resting on the stigma of a passionflower. The little green things on the bottom right are passionflower pollen. How amazing is that?
Scientists continue to develop ever greater magnification abilities and guess what?

As far down as you can go, there is no end to the structures they find. It’s infinite. Because you can never get to the end of God.

Conversely, looking out into the skies beyond, new galaxies and star clusters are discovered daily.
The photo to the left is from NASA. It’s a massive cluster of galaxies called Abell 1689. It is 2.3 BILLION LIGHT YEARS away from earth.

As stronger telescopes are developed, more galaxies are found, because, you guessed it, you can never get to the of God!

God is there. As far down as you can go. As far out as you can fly. God has already been there. I look at the perfection of the birch pollen – its tiny spikes made to catch hold of the flower’s stigma. How can that be random?
I try to remember this at times when I have allowed God to be too small in my own life. I know that as a finite being, I will never be able to truly comprehend infinity until I see Him.
No end to God

No end to God

But these photos help me remember what an awesome God I serve.

That nothing is impossible with Him.

And nothing is too hard for Him, either!
