The man of the day is heavily intoxicated by the power he wields over science. Knowledge has increased by leaps and bounds. The pace of inventions is rapid, and the discoveries are pouring in.
It is a fact, and we have to accept it, that there is a great ‘increase’ in knowledge.
Let us pause a moment to put things in perspective. What is known should be compared, to what is to be known. This gives us a realistic assessment of what we actually know. When compared, what we know, sadly pales away. The strides that we made at the speed of thought, is in reality, nothing more than a speck in the sky.
Knowledge should make one humble. The humility should lead us to stand in awe of the Creator.
One cursory glance at anything around us should crush us to kneel before the Omniscient and Omnipotent God. But for Him, our knowledge of anything and everything is of no consequence at all. For all that we boast about, is but His gift to us.
“”When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers,
the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
What is man, that thou art mindful of him?
and the son of man, that thou visitest him?”” [Psalm 8:3-4]
