The geniuses are at it again. They've decided it's necessary to add one second to the end of 2008. Their explanation? It seems that the technological marvel of man's own making, the atomic clock, is "much more precise than the rotation of the earth" which God set in motion. So to allow the earth to "catch up" to man's ingenuity, one second will be added to the year.
I'm always amused when I hear this kind of drivel. I often marvel at the audacity of mankind in thinking we know better than God, or can create something that trumps the handiwork of the Creator. But I'm not sure God's amused.
"... the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
~ 1 Corinthians 1:25
So tonight, as you ring in 2009 in whatever way you choose, take an extra second to ponder the awesomeness of a God who spoke and all things came into being. And, if you have a spare second, to realize that He holds all of the elements, including time, in the palm of His hand.
