Let us not
forget that all truth--whether spiritual or scientific--is a revelation
of God. When we make a discovery in either realm--or perhaps I should
say when a revelation is made to us in either realm--like Kepler we are
really "thinking God's thoughts after Him." These very thoughts were in
God's mind, else they could not be in ours. What we do know is often
associated with a vast field of the unknown.
And how slow we are to learn. Just think of a few of the discoveries--or
revelations--of late years. And for ages and ages past, men were in
total ignorance of these things, though they were close to their hand.
Is it not very suggestive of how little we know yet of the truth in the
spiritual domain, to be unfolded to us in due time?
I say, just think of a few of the scientific discoveries we have made of
late years. I need not stay to note the wonderful developments in
surgery and medicine. They may be regarded as commonplace now; but every
one of them was a discovery. Think of the discovery of how to use steam,
and all that the discovery has led to. Allied with that, think of the
immense quantities of coal we burn, and only extract a small percentage
of its heat as yet. One of these days there will likely dawn on some
mind the correct way of using it, and then what a revelation.
