"In the beginning God created the heaven and the Earth." The verse is written in the first chapter of the first book of the Old Testament that really explains that God is the most powerful above all. As being the powerful one, God also created Adam and Eve to rule over his creation like animals and other things found in the environment. To rule over a certain thing means to have the care and love for this. Being responsible is hard enough, it takes full attention, big heart and high concern to do this. As what Spiderman, "Great power comes with great responsibility." You cannot be powerful unless you are responsible. That's why I believe that if only all of us will have this thinking, the planet Earth will be the same as what God created it.
In reality, all of us have the power over the environment, we can do things that make our life easier without knowing that we contribute a lot in destroying the environment. Nowadays, the worst thing that is happening in our planet is the global warming that affect every person, animal, community and nation. In the near future, we will surely reap what we have soon. Nature has its own way to show us the effects of our work. So before it happens, let's do what our government is implementing about environmental issues and concerns & let us support them who are doing things to protect our environment.
We cannot be responsible enough to our environment if we do not give respect to its creator, who is the Lord Jesus Christ. You can never do the truthful respect unless you accept Him as your personal Lord and Saviour.
Through my personal experience, I found the real superhero who changed me. The day I accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Saviour was also the day when I realized that I cannot do things apart from him. Now, I can say that "Greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world (I John 4:4)."
" I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me ( Phil 4:13 ) and I am more than conquerors through him that loved me " ( Romans 8:37)".
Do you also want JESUS to be your superhero? First, accept that you are a sinner ( Romans 3:23 ), second confess your sins ( Romans 10:9 ) and lastly accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour ( 1 John 1:12 )
If you are ready to commit your life to Christ and accept Him as your personal Lord and saviour, pray this wholeheartedly " Lord Jesus, I confess to you that I am a sinner. Forgive me of my being a sinner and accept you as my personal Lord and saviour . I commit my life to you and ask you to come into my life and save me . This I Pray, in Jesus name, Amen."
If you prayed the sinner's prayer, well welcome to the family of God . You made the greatest decision in your life and because you already have the real superhero not just in this world but also in Eternity.
Furthermore, we are now confident that we can save the mother Earth because we have JESUS in our life, " All things are possible".

Tropism effect
Nowadays, people are very dependent o the environment, what's in or what's the latest trend. They want to be involved in an environment that gives them a correct and good direction in life. It's in the human's nature to dream of a place or situation where they can get the needed attention and response. And opposite to that, to be out of the place or situation if they feel unhappy and being taken for granted that's the reality of life, we all want to follow our desires because we think that they are good and we have pleasures on them. But in the microscope of life it is written in Proverbs 16:25 "There is a way to seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." Like in plants, they need to respond to their surroundings for them to live and grow. Some plants response to light (Photo tropism), some response to gravity (geotropropism), some response to water (hydotropisms), some response to a chemical stimulus (chemotropism) and some response to physical contact.
Plants attitude in terms of responding to environment is the same attitude that we possess. We want our life to be comfortable, but we must remember that whatever ways we take, follow not just our heart but what our Lord convict us, because according to Proverbs 5:21 "For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his going."
Remember, tropism is good but the worst thing that might happen to us will be our greatest regret if we disregard the ways of the Lord.

WISDOM IS THE KEY
Every living thing comes from other organisms. All living things inherit a set of characteristics from their parents. Instructions for these characteristics exist at the cellular level chromosomes. As a result of reproduction, traits are passed from one generation to another. This process follows certain rules of inheritance that were discovered in the last century.
An organism may have thousands of different traits, How can one chemical hold a a code for all these traits? The secret is in the structure of DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) that serves as a hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms. A gene is a section of DNA in chromosomes which carries a message or instruction for a trait. That is why; new organism gets a set of genes from the traits of both parents. This gene will help the doctors determine the real child of particular mother or father.
Truly, human's mind is amazing and it is shown through different inventions that play important roles on our daily life. On the contrary, there is no greater wisdom than the wisdom coming from God. I have proven this based from the memorable experience that I had. When I was on Lanai for our church camp last May 2008, one of the topics in our devotional time was about the wisdom of King Solomon, son of King David. It is written in the book of I Kings 3:16-22. And until now I am very blessed on King Solomon's wisdom which helped him solved and understand things.
This is what the story goes. "There were two women who both claimed that the living child was their son. They went to King Solomon to help them solve their case. The first woman told that the other woman was lying because according to her, the woman's true child was found on the same house and the baby was already dead. The same accusation was given by other woman . So, King Solomon decided to divide the living child into two using his sword so that both of them will have the child. The real mother didn't want to cut her son so, she decided to give her own child to to other woman but, the other woman resisted the living child. Based from the attitude shown by the two women, King Solomon decided to give the child to the first woman for her love and care towards the child and could only be found in the heart of a real mother. And from this, all Israelites heard of King Solomon;s judgement and they feared the King: for they saw that the WISDOM OF GOD was in him, to do judgment".
Nowadays, DNA is the main key to know the truth but without wisdom, people will not understand how this DNA works for its real purpose and correct intention.
As it is written in Proverbs 4:7, "Wisdom is the principal things; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting inderstanding".
Indeed wisdom from God is the key to understand everything.

" Organ System : Works Together For Good "
The nucleus is the control center of the cells since it contains the genetic material. DNA which determines the characteristics of a cell and directs the production of proteins.
Cells may group together and form multicellular organisms. In most organisms, groups of tissues organize and work together to perform a common function. The structural and functional unit formed is called an organ.
Organs do not function independently. They also work as group. This group of organs is called an organ system.
If one of the organ system fails to function, what might happen to one's body? Of course, it will not work well.
Like the organ system, the body parts must also work together to perform varied activities which are useful and pleasing to God.
What did the "microscope of life" tell on this? According to I Corinthians 12:14-20, " For the body is not one member, but many It the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body: it is therefore not of the body? And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body: it is therefore not of the body? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? And if they were all one member, where were the body. But now are they many members, yet but one body."
Furthermore it really implies that just like the organs system that needs to work together, each body part must also do the same. God created our body with cells, that form an organ. These organs work in an organ system that might affect one another if one of them fails to function correctly.
Therefore, I must say that in the organ system all parts function together for good. The same is true with our life experience, despite of all the troubles, pains and suffering that we are dealing everyday, always hold on to this very meaningful verse " ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOODS ". We might not notice it because we are deceived by our thoughts but God knows what's best for us because He is the control center of our life just like what nucleus of the cell does to our body.

Bible : The Microscope of Life
Understanding oneself is a great factor that affects one's life. Knowing how each part of our body functions contributes in the success of each individual. That is one of the reasons why different modern technologies were developed. One of which is the microscope.
Microscope is a mechanical device used for viewing objects & materials so minute in size that they are undetectable by the naked eye.
Science will not be what is it today without the microscope. With the use of microscope, we can take a deeper look inside our body. It helps us see even the smallest cell that comprises our body.
On the other hand, understanding oneself will not be completed by simply knowing the different parts and functions of our body. We should also magnify the deepest part of it... our soul. That will only be possible through the " Word of God of the Bible. " Bible is the only book that can detect the intents of the heart and thoughts of the mind to prove this, it is written in the Bible in Hebrews 4:12 that,
" For the Word of God is quick and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
Therefore I must say that the " Bible is the microscope of Life " because it reveals who we really are, inside and out. It shows how Jesus loves us for who we are and for what we are.
According also to the Bible " I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are they works; and that my soul knoweth right well."
Furthermore there is no other thing in this world greater than the Bible " The Word of GOD " and that for me is the " Microscope of Life. "
