The Landcare Research Center in New Zealand have recently made an interesting discovery. According to Mark Smale and his survey team, several plants and vegetation living in the Taupo Volcanic Zone are thriving despite a soil temperature of 72 degrees Celsius. In case you were wondering, that’s 161 degrees Fahrenheit. The breaking point was found to be 80 degrees Celsius, where only thermophilic algae can survive. This interesting find illustrates the fact that God has created living things can thrive in adverse conditions.
A champion named Goliath, who was from Gath, came out of the Philistine camp. His height was six cubits and a span. He had a bronze helmet on his head and wore a coat of scale armor of bronze weighing five thousand shekels, 1 Samuel 17:4-6.
If you enjoy watching sports, there are certain contests, games and matches that are clearly a mismatch. In the early years of Israel, no Jewish soldier could match the size, strength and supreme confidence of the Philistine warrior. Goliath stood just under ten feet tall and was protected by 156 pounds of armor. Day after day Goliath challenged members of the Jewish army to a duel but everyone ran and hid in fear. During a visit to the front lines to see his older brothers, David witnessed Goliath’s daily rant. While the odds were against this frail six foot tall shepherd boy, David possessed a faith which thrived under extreme circumstances.
