Forty miles above the earth’s surface there is a thin layer of ozone. Without it, life could not exist. The sun continually bombards our planet with eight killer rays. Without the ozone layer we would be burned, blinded and broiled by them. The ultra violet rays come in two forms; longer rays which are deadly and are screened out and shorter rays which are necessary for life on earth and are admitted by the ozone layer. The most deadly of these rays are allowed through the ozone layer in a minute amount, just enough to kill the green algae that would otherwise grow to fill all the lakes and rivers and oceans but not enough to harm human life.

“The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.”

— Psalms 19:1 (NIV)

Lord God we can only stand in awe at the perfection of Your creative design. Amen.
