Do you know
anyone big enough to
hold the water from all the oceans, lakes, and rivers in the palm of
his hand?
God can. Do you know anyone vast enough to measure all the galaxies and
galaxy
clusters in the universe with the span of his hand? God can. Who is
able to weigh
the dirt from all the mountains and hills on a scale? God can. Why do
primitive cultures insist on
manufacturing their own “god” from a piece of metal or wood? Why do
educated
cultures insist on manufacturing a “scientific” model that simulates
God and
stipulates that everything which exists came about in a series of
cosmic
accidents? How rational is either of those explanations? It is God
who sits above the sphere
of the earth. To him, all humans are like grasshoppers. He stretches
out the
heavens as though they were a curtain. He spreads them out as though
they were
a tent to live in. He
dethrones kings, prime
ministers, and presidents. He renders judges throughout the earth
meaningless.
Barely have they come into office but He breathes on them. They wither
and die,
and He blows them away like so much chaff from the back end of a
combine. Who is like
God? He created every
star that exists. Every night He leads them out like a huge army. He
knows the
name of every star, and has never misplaced a single one. Why do we
think that God can’t see
what we are doing? Why do we conclude He is not treating us fairly? God is
Eternal. He is the Creator
of the ends of the earth. He never grows weary. His knowledge and
understanding
are unfathomable. It is God who gives strength to those who are
exhausted. Even
young people grow tired and stumble. But those
who wait expectantly on
God will gain new strength. They will mount up like eagles soaring
above the
earth. They will run and not tire. They will walk, and not grow weary. By James T.
