Good Wednesday morning! Sometimes I like to read Pastor Rogers' devotional first and then discuss more from what he began. Pastor Rogers is no longer with us on this earth, but through the magic of modern electronic media and storage we can read his words from years ago. I thought today, "What if you cannot see any traffic on that bridge?" Standing on the banks, trying to work up the courage, and you see no evidence that anyone has ever crossed it. What do you do then? In the case of our Lord, if you see no signs of His strength, then you aren't looking! Consider what we know of the universe. Our houses stand on little pieces of a huge planet. That planet is not one of the large planets and orbits a star that is not considered large in astronomical terms. There appear to be uncountable trillions of stars in billions of galaxies. Too much to grasp? Yeah, me too! However, staying closer to home, we see mighty mountains and rivers, all created by God. We see forests and plains of grass, animals both unique and common, plants of every description and oceans full of fish. Scientist will admit that we know very little about what inhabits the mighty oceans. What endless variety of life is found on our little planet! And we have no idea what may or may not exist out among the stars. We have but to consider the power and majesty unveiled in one thunderstorm to see the saving hand of our Creator. Try to push your house off of its foundation. No luck there? We know from experience and news reports that any thunderstorm could spawn a tornado that takes our house away. Nothing we can do would change the course of that tornado should God allow it to destroy our houses. Yet, we know and believe in a mighty God, who certainly has control of every storm at every moment. The storms will come, but our God is sovereign and we believe in Him!
God bless you on this fine morning,
Bucky
