God of Wonders

Am I the only one who has ever found myself completely in awe of God's creation? Have you ever looked up into the night sky and marveled at the fact that the stars we see may not even exist any more, but that their light continues to penetrate our atmosphere? What about space itself? You could travel 100 million miles in any direction and still not find an end to it!

The process of a caterpillar becoming a butterfly, or of a bird migrating thousands of miles somehow knowing that it's going in the right direction, should cause each one of us to say with the Psalmist, "This is the LORD's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes." (Psalm 118:23)

We serve an awesome God. The things that we stand in awe of, He created by the word of His mouth. Truly, He is a God of wonders.

"The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handywork.
Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night showeth knowledge.
There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.".

                        -Psalm 19:1-3

100 million? I'm pretty sure you could travel 100 TRILLION miles and still not be even close to one percent across the universe! Wow. Sometimes we just get so self focused that we forget the sizeless God that we serve. He is over all, and if he can create 350 billion galaxies and blood clotting, I'm pretty sure He has our lives in control. =)

Great picture!

For I will proclaim the name of the LORD;
ascribe greatness to our God!

Sorry Dakota. You are not the only one. I am always amazed, astounded, and in awe of the complete magnificent radiance of God's creation. Can't you imagine what heaven is going to be like. We get a glimpse here on earth, but heaven will be beyond our imagination.

In Christ,
Joshua :)
