Can You Count The Sands And The Raindrops? Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

Can You Count The Sands And The Raindrops?

Rating: 5.0


The sand of the sea,
the falling raindrops
who can assess them?

The height of the vast sky,
the breadth of the earth,
The depths of the abyss
who can probe them?

The one who created all,
alone can assess everything.

He sits on His heavenly throne.
Will you adore him now
in the recess of
your intimate heart?

Reference to the Book Ecclesisticus in the Holy Bible ch.1.

Your title and poem, Tony, first make me think of God’s promise to Abraham about all his descendants—when he as yet had no children! And then I think of the infinitude of God and our place, our knowledge, in contrast. As it goes in the close of Psalm 124, God’s strong name is our help, the same God who made heaven and earth. -Glen
