If you not a science geek, supersaturation is this really cool thing that sometimes happens.
First you need the right ingredients, and they need to be setup in a certain way. Here is a simple description in writing.
You have a bowl or beaker of fluid which is saturated with a certain ingredient (but it is still 100% liquid), and you slowly, drop by drop, add an ingredient to the bowl of liquid.
First one drip, then another, then another. All the while it seems like nothing happens, as if these little drops have no effect whatsoever.
Then, in a flash, after what seems like zillion drops were added with no effect—the liquid begins to turn quickly to solid!
Today we read:

Sin, working to saturate our lives, like a flash of lightening, breaks into our world with catastrophic impact.
God spoke, and all that Daniel had told him…
…was fulfilled the same hour on Nebuchadnezzar. He was driven from men, and ate grass as oxen…
What sin is dripping into my life? How about yours?
