Let us begin
First a drop of water asks you who am I
Take an ordinary drop of water the one you drink every day and that costs you nothing
Have you ever thought about it
That drop small transparent and simple carries within it one of the secrets of the universe
Its amazing composition two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen this simple structure made water the foundation of life on earth
Its ability to dissolve water dissolves almost everything it carries nutrients to the cells of your body and carries waste away
Its strange temperature water takes a long time to heat and a long time to cool and because of this the temperature of the earth remains stable and we do not die from extreme heat or cold
Its unusual expansion every liquid in the universe contracts when it cools but water when it approaches the freezing point expands and because of this ice floats on the surface instead of sinking
Imagine if ice sank to the bottom of the oceans it would accumulate there year after year until all the oceans of the earth became massive blocks of ice and life would end
Is this a coincidence or does a drop of water carry within it a message guiding you to the Creator
The human soul has a deep need for meaning we do not only want to see things as they are we want to understand why they are the way they are
The drop of water satisfies this need and reminds the soul that it is not alone in this universe but that there is wisdom organizing everything
Second a tiny ant carrying burdens greater than itself
Look at an ant
That tiny creature you may pass hundreds of times without noticing
Observe it for a moment
It walks in a straight line as if it knows where it is going
It carries its food with patience and determination even though it is many times larger than itself
It cooperates with its sisters to build homes and store food
It knows the way back to its colony with precision as if there is a map inside its head
Scientists have discovered that ants have their own language through which they communicate with one another warn each other of dangers and guide each other to food sources
This tiny ant which weighs almost nothing carries within it a complete social system a special language and skills in building storing and cooperation that many humans do not master
Now think who taught the ant all of this
Did it learn in a school did it read a book about management and cooperation did it meet with advisors to plan its yearly strategy
No because the ant was created with this this is its natural disposition placed within it by the Creator
And within you also O human being there is a natural disposition
A disposition that pushes you to search for truth to ask about the Creator and to love goodness beauty and justice
The ant reminds your soul of its natural disposition it tells you
Look at me I work according to what I was created for do you work according to what you were created for
Third the sky that does not fall
Scientists stood in amazement before this great cosmic sign
The sky that vast blue dome you see every day how does it remain suspended without collapsing onto the earth
Millions of tons of gases clouds stars and planets all suspended in space nothing holds them except what
The laws of gravity motion and precise balance all cooperate to keep the sky in place
If these laws were disturbed even for a single moment everything would collapse
Scientists say in the book Science and Evidence of Design in the Universe that there are more than two hundred cosmic factors precisely adjusted if any of them changed by a very tiny percentage life as we know it would end
The sky does not fall and it constantly reminds you that this universe is not chaos but a precise system governed by fixed laws and behind it a wise Creator
Within your soul there is a need for security a need to know that there is One who preserves this universe and preserves you
The sky that does not fall is a constant reminder of that security
Fourth night and day lessons in renewal
Reflect on this amazing cosmic cycle
Night comes with its darkness and calm as if saying to you rest sleep renew your strength
Then day comes with its light and movement as if saying rise work strive and move forward
Every day this cycle repeats night and day never grow tired never delay and never come too early
This cosmic order reminds your soul of something important
You also need this cycle work and rest movement and stillness effort and reflection
Many people pass through night and day asleep to their meanings they wake only for work and sleep only from exhaustion without asking themselves what does this daily cycle teach me about myself and my life
Night teaches you patience
