Emerson said: "If we cannot make voluntary and conscious steps in the admirable science of universals, let us see the parts wisely, and infer the genius of nature from the best particulars with a becoming charity," In other words, if we watch nature at work, if we watch how the great oak grows from the little acorn, then we, by inference, are discovering the deeper creative nature of the Universe.

It is an interesting thing to realize that we are surrounded by such a creativeness, that we may make conscious use of this; and that looking steadfastly at that which appears small as the little acorn, we may bless it into the abundance which is already inherent in its own nature, How does the little acorn grow into a sturdy oak? No one knows, Science may watch the process of its growing, but science, philosophy, psychology, religion, or any branch of human knowledge, cannot know why it grows, or what is the invisible principle of Life back of it which makes it grow.

This is what the Bible calls the Word of God. But this Word of God is the eternal event which is apparent in the moving of the Universe, in that which we call little as well as in that which we call large. To the Spirit there is no little and there is no big. It is both the molehill and the mountain; It is the ant and the elephant; It is the butterfly and the eagle; the running brook and the ocean.
