Hungry for Holy Filling

 

When God finds a man who’s willing

God is never known for failing,

Nor “short,” nor unavailing,

When a man is sold all out  to Him.

Great Scientist Anton van Leeuwenhoek – born

ON THIS DATE

Anton van Leeuwenhoek was born 10/24/1632.  He, as many true scientists, believed in God and was a steady, church-going (Reformed Church) man.  One of his letters speaks of “the most wise Creator and Lord of the Universe…” – he considered himself as viewing, microscopically, God’s tiny handiwork. 

Leeuwenhoek is known to have made 247 completed microscopes in which to study the single-cell organisms he referred to as “beasties.”  He died 8/30/1723 retaining his child-like [said positively] curiosity.
