THE WONDERS OF GOD
You have probably heard of the seven wonders of the world, some being the Tajmahal, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon (what a place for a garden), the Pyramid of Giza, the Lighthouse of Alexandria, etc. All these maybe wonders to this world and they may be magnificent to a degree. But they have one thing in common that makes them not so much of a wonder, and that is that they are man-made objects. They can not compare to THE WONDERS OF OUR GOD. I would like to focus, for this posting, on THE WONDERS OF GOD that HIS hands and fingers and voice made, that we have and use each day of our lives, and perhaps hardly give a thought about. I am in LOVE, so I like to talk about my LOVE and brag on His greatness, the splendid excellence of HIS majesty and the GLORY that I bathe and drench myself in daily. I can't help myself, this LOVE overtakes me, and I talk of HIS powerful pull on me as if I am addicted. In a sense I reckon (a back in the day word) I am addicted to LOVE. THE WONDERS OF GOD are all around us and we use them without much thought or realizing how important they are to our survival. Consider the AIR. First of all what is it? I know that scientifically there is an explanation but don't the experts have answers for everything, and because we consider them tops in their areas of expertise, we take what they say as truth.(John17:17). Well, ponder awhile with me. Air, it is all around us, more than enough for every living person, place and thing to have plenty, with a supply that NEVER runs low or out. Who gave that kind of abundance of life- sustaining necessity to all of us? You need not qualify to recieve this AIR SUPPLY, there is no income level/limit needed, skin color has nothing to do with it, where you live and what you drive, or how you dress has no bearing on this supply, you simply have it as God's provision for life.GOD IS GOOD TO ALL OF US! I would venture to say that if man had created this air, he would find ways to charge for its usage. Whoa to the person who couldn't make that monthly payment. Consider the sky, clouds, sun, rainbows, moon, stars (Psalm8:3), water, dirt, trees, grass wind, rain, snow, seasons, the seeds inside the earth. I could also speak of THE WONDERS OF GOD that we visit and find them breathtaking, such as mountains, the oceans, all this and much more made only from the finger of GOD (Genesis 1:6-19), (Psalm 8:3-4nlt). GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST!! Water... What is it? Why is it so vitally important to life? 70% of the earth is made of water and over 60% of our body is made up of water (Psalm36:8). GLORY TO GOD! HAIL TO THE KING OF CREATION!! God made all this possible and indeed so before HE put us in the GARDEN. All these WONDERS God created, and they all listen to Him and obey His voice (Psalm 107:29). God in all His wisdom and knowledge about all things, answered Job and his friends with words that paint a word- picture of HIM and HIS greatness and majesty and attention to the details of creation, when He said " Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Who determined its dimensions and stretched out the surveying line? What supports its foundation and who laid the cornerstone?"( ...Job 38). GOD and ONLY GOD can have all the Glory. HALLELUJAH!! My mind in all its limited capacity, looks at all this and I get to wondering about things that may or may not make sense or whatever but I wonder none the less. When I look at trees, long tall sky touching trees (seemingly),the nest that the birds choose to build there, or the tips of the trees,who would water that if the rain didn't. All gardeners know that plants and trees need water, even the tip top.Would you go into the forest or into the desert or anywhere they grow, and water the trees? I will be honest, I probably wouldn't. God provides for all His creation.(Psalm135:7) GLORY TO GOD!! Check out the ground and the grass. What on earth is that? Dirt. This stuff makes things grow. How did God do that? I bet they can't figure that out fully and make a t.v. program about it. Oh yeah I'm forgetting "the experts". This stuff can be reproduced and bought, and all the gardeners said YEAH!!! What about grass? Have you noticed grass grows is strange places. By strange I mean in concrete, between bricks, along sidewalks and such. That comes from seed already in the ground placed there by GOD (Genesis 1: 11-12). Look up. Have you thought about the SKY lately? Ponder this: it is EVERYWHERE. There is not a place on this planet where you cannot see the SKY. In fact with the exception of wind, there is all this creation to see EVERYWHERE, perhaps all at once or some here and some there, but seen nonetheless.The SKY in all this glorious color and display of clouds, sun, the moon, the stars at night, rainbows. WOW!! What must HEAVEN be like? This is a beautiful thing this SKY. Have you ever seen a sunset? What about the Dawning of the new day? Have you paid attention to the day- moon? Can you count the differring amount of colors the SKY shows? Blue is not all there is, look for the purples and the oranges and the various whites, just to mention a few.GLORY TO GOD ALMIGHTY!! The rainbows are AWESOME!!! Look for them through the Sun, dark sunglasses bring out this greatness powerfully. Prepare your neck muscles, because when you catch these sights, you will find yourself looking upward quite a bit. Shall I say your head will be in clouds. You will probably say what I find myself saying so often, GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST!!! HAIL TO THE KING OF THE UNIVERSE, OF CREATION, OF ALL THINGS!! LET ALL PRAISE ARISE TO THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH!!!. I can't help it, I am sooo in LOVE that I forget myself and get to praising GOD so much that I have to type and praise at the same time and I just can't type that fast. GLORY TO GOD!! Let the WIND blow on your face and through your soul, it will refresh your spirit. Allow the RAIN to wash the LOVE of GOD beyond your skin and into the HEART where HE is. Request the BRIGHT MORNING STAR to reside in you and as the SEASONS OF LIFE change, you will discover that you are NEVER ALONE (Hebrews13:5-6).God is LEADING if you allow it,(Deuteronomy 30:19), so do so. You won't go wrong with the CREATOR OF THE WORLD always with you.(Psalm 139:13-18). I love you, God loves you, and Jesus is Lord!! Be Blessed in This CREATION. Job 38, 39, Psalm 136:4-9
