The material world is under God's control. The laws of nature are obeyed by nature. Everything speaks and acts the will of the Creator. Cloud and sunshine, dew and rain, wind and storm, all are under the supervision of God, and yield implicit obedience to His command. It is in obedience to the law of God that the spire of grain bursts through the ground, "first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear." Mark 4:28. These the Lord 82 develops in their proper season because they do not resist His working. And can it be that man, made in the image of God, endowed with reason and speech, shall alone be unappreciative of His gifts and disobedient to His will? Shall rational beings alone cause confusion in our world? -

Den materielle verden er underlagt Guds herredømme. Naturens love adlydes af naturen. Alt foregår i overensstemmelse med Skaberens vilje Skyer og solskin, dug og regn, storm og uvejr alt bliver styret og ledet af Gud og viser ubetinget lydighed mod hans bud. Det er i lydighed mod Guds lov at kornets fine spire bryder gennem jorden "først strå, så aks og så fuld kerne i akset" De modnes i rette tid, fordi de ikke modsætter sig hans vilje. Og er det da således, at mennesket, der er skabt i Guds billede og betænkt med fornuft og evnen til at tale, skal være ene om at være utaknemmelig for hans gaver og ulydig mod hans vilje? Skal det være fornuftsvæsener der alene bringer forvirring ind i vor verden?
