And Everything Else

Psalms 148:7-9
"7 Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:
8 Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling His word:
9 Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:"

It's ALL about praise to GOD!!! 
All celestial creations praise GOD; the angels, the saints of heaven, the sun, the moon, and the stars; the heavens, and the haven of heavens, and the waters above them! There is more to creation than we know, even with all our advanced technology and science, we don't know it all. Creation has endured many million of ages and may continue to exist for many million of ages to come. As long as GOD wants it to.

"Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:" From above to now, below; "the earth...and all deeps." The oceans with their waves and winds and the giant inhabitants that swim there! These forces of nature do what they do and it's PRAISE to GOD!

Weather that's good, bad and ugly all PRAISE GOD!
"Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling His word:" Hail, lightning, snow, clouds, tempest, all "fulfilling His word!" Obeying His command; accomplishing His purpose. Weather is in fact an act of praise or homage, as it proclaims His majesty, His supremacy, and His power.

"Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:" From the lows of the bottom of the ocean to the heights of the top of the mountains. And, all the trees there on; fruit trees and wood trees, like cedar, all PRAISE GOD. Their purpose makes them valuable. This is all God's handywork, God is in control. God is the only one in control. All creation bows down to the creator. We worship the God who made the mountains and EVERYTHING else!

Matthew 6:27 "27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" Jesus has questions... Beginning our study this week with "Why Do You Worry?" Questions have always been a cornerstone of education, used to assess students’ knowledge, promote comprehension, and stimulate critical thinking. Well-crafted questions lead to new insights, generate discussion, and promote the comprehensive exploration of the subject. It makes sense that GOD would use questions VERY effectively. In yesterday's verses, Jesus asked "Are you not MUCH BETTER than birds?" His questions do not end there. In today's verse we read another one, "Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" This is a sentence our culture needs to learn. No anxiety, no thinking, no wanting will alter our bodily height, or any other condition of our life that is fixed by God’s laws. We often wish things were different than they are, but our "wo...

Acts 2:7&8 "7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? 8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?" The Holy Ghost is the only way this happens. They were very surprised to be hundreds and, some cases, thousands of miles from "home" and hearing their language spoken! It was astonishing! Appreciate that these devout Jewish people whose families had been carried away from Israel generations before. Taken in captivity by armies that invaded and conquered Israel. (A little like Joseph was taken captive to Egypt. All by God's plan to save the Israelites during a time of famine.) Over the years, these Jewish "captives" would adopt the language and some of the customs of their captors. However, they remained Jewish. By the time of the events recorded in the book of Acts, they made the pilgrimage to Jerusalem for Passover and the Feast of Weeks. They just happe...

God is forever strong!

Isaiah 40:29&30 "29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might He increaseth strength. 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:" GOD wants you and me to look upward, and consider all the evidences of the power and wisdom of GOD! Compared to GOD we are merely grasshoppers. We can find ourselves jealous of GOD. His infinite power, and wisdom, and goodness! We might ask "Does GOD even notice my prayers, my tears, my sufferings?" When we are ungrateful and complaining we are ignorant. Grasshoppers like you and me cannot understand GOD. He rules the world and knows better about all our affairs than we do ourselves. We do no good by second guessing the ways of our infinitely wise God! AND! Check out today's verses; "He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might He increaseth strength." This transcendent GOD of ours helps us! God gives power and strength. We can trust in GOD and lo...
