A powerful movie came out in 1993 titled A River Runs Through It, based on a
novel by Norman Maclean. It's the story of a strict Presbyterian minister in Montana and
his relationship with his two sons. Early in the movie there's a scene where the father
takes his two young sons to their favorite river to fish. One of the boys finds a fossil and
brings it to his dad. The father says, "Boys, this river flows through the land over the
rocks to the sea. The rocks are half a billion years old, and show the marks of raindrops
that fell long eons ago. And underneath the rocks are the words of God. Listen." They
lean over and listen to the gurgling river. Underneath the river and the rocks is the Word
of God. That Word runs through all things and holds all things together. Hebrews says
"the worlds" were created through Jesus, who "sustains all things by his powerful
word."
