Great grammar lesson, but what is the point?
‘Universe’, the word in and of itself, the word we all use to describe that which is all around us and as far as our minds can fathom, means “one turning of a phrase”. All that we can see, all that we know, all that we can touch and feel and smell and taste, all that we can imagine looking through the strongest of telescopes! All of that, put together, came from “one turning of a phrase”…
And God said, “Let there be…” and it was.
Go out tonight and just look up!
See the world in which you were placed.
Try to count the stars.
Look at the moon!
And then, thank God for His words that spoke it all into being!
