Glorifying God ... by juggling

 

1 Corinthians 14:40

But all things should be done decently and in order.

I

am aware that the directive given in 1 Corinthians 14:40 was not aimed at stand-up comedy or vaudeville entertainment. But this verse gives us a glimpse into God’s character—God is a God of order. He likes precision.

As the highest order of God’s created beings, man is actually made in the image of God. Man is the only creature on earth capable of diverse and varied creation. Granted, we can’t create anything from nothing. But we can create. And if we are to show God’s image through our creativity, we must do things decently and in order.

I think this video is an example of musical timing and precision that fits the description of doing things decently and in order. I don’t know if this juggler intended to glorify God with his act, but his incredible precision and creativity show the glory of God’s divine image in mortal man.

Simply astounding!

  1. It's an awesome video. I shd. mention, Rich, that your book list over on the right tends to interrupt your videos by refreshing the page every few seconds. I saw this one best by going to Youtube to watch it.

  2. Thanks for telling me about the issue with the book list, Lydia. The book list just bit the dust. Trying to get a bit too fancy, I guess.
