We both breathe each other’s air, for starters. Well actually, that would be trees and noses. 😄 But seriously — what do trees and fingers have in common?

THE BEAUTY OF HUMAN FINGERPRINTS

There are as many different fingerprints in the world as there are people. No two are the same.

Take a look at yours right now.

Whether old and scarred or young and plump, each fingerprint layers hundreds of lines — complex in detail, full of wonder.

If you’ve got a magnifying glass handy, look more closely. You might just get lost in the patterns and swirls. They’re almost hypnotic to follow – like miles of miniature labyrinths.

 

THE WONDER OF STUMPY TREEPRINTS

Trees have prints too! They’re hidden, of course. Completely out of sight, until you find a stump.

Of course, you’ve seen tree rings before, but they’re worth more than a casual glance. Tree rings are mysterious – wondrous. They tell the story of centuries.

Each ring chronicles a season. By examining the density and thickness of these “tree prints”, you can learn details about rainfall and other natural events from centuries past.

 

BOTH TREES AND FINGERS HAVE PRINTS!

Both trees and fingers have prints. If you examine them side-by-side the similarities are fascinating.

It shouldn’t surprise you then, that trees and forests, hands and fingers, have the same Designer. Like every famous Artist, He leaves His signature.

 

TREES AND FINGERS WHISPER GOD’S GLORY

The natural world whispers of an Intelligent Designer. And, though God’s finger pads can’t be inked or captured, the universe bears His markings.

Further evidence of design is found in the discovery of DNA   — stunning, unique.

Shame on the theory of macro evolution: mankind’s grasping for an atheist origin story. This fallacy falls on its face in the Presence of the Living God, and the wonders of creation.

Will you join your fellow creatures and give Him glory for what He has done?

Someday, the silent trees will clap their hands and rejoice at the return of Jesus — the One who traced their rings through centuries. In the meantime, I invite you to join me and praise of the God of Light ! He’s the only Being worthy of eternal applause.
