DAILY?READINGS: Genesis 4-5; Job 6-7; Matthew 4

The works of the Lord are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.    Psalm 111:2

The Cavendish Laboratory is a world famous research centre of experimental physics based at the University of Cambridge. Above its main entrance are inscribed the words of today’s verse. What a fitting tribute, that where the best of human intellect seeks to understand the secrets of physical phenomena, due recognition is given to the power and wisdom of the Creator.    ­—Brian Powlesland

O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the works thy hands hath made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.
—Stuart K. Hine
