having armed yourself with strength,
As I drive across country to my church or out on the interstate sometimes I am amazed at the sights of the large rolling hills. I love a crisp morning with blue skies and driving over these rolling hills that go on and on. Sometimes I think about God's power and ability to create what I am seeing. This verse brought those days to mind.
When I'm thinking about that sometimes I admit my thoughts are not right for just a moment. I might think is it really possible that what I believe in is true? God created all this and the vastness of the universe. Any doubts quickly go away when I think of the alternatives presented in society today of a rock exploding randomly into the universe and life.
Its kind of funny to me that some people so easily dismiss the idea of God but are willing to latch onto the big bang theory. I mean really why is that believable at all to them if they can't believe in God. What makes them think something that is in animate could suddenly become life without an outside force? Why don't they challenge the scientists ideas more fervently? This is brought to by the same discipline of people who have been waffling on whether or not eggs or good or bad for our entire life time. They can't get that right but they have nailed the explanation for the creation of the universe?...please.
enough rambling. God I praise you for your strength and for revealing yourself to me.

Starting with the verse that you copy/paste'd, all the way to the end of the chapter. It's filled with a wonderful description of God unbelievable power. I mean it when I say "UNBELIEVABLE". I think that's why we struggle with it sometimes. God is so much more of everything than us. Its hard to wrap our minds around it. I don't always see that creation wonder, here in Detroit. We are more urban, and sometimes that look doesn't remind me of the power of God. But, then there are ttimes when I'm on dad's boat, fishing 5 miles out in lake michigan......or early in the morning sitting on mom and dad's deck, looking at the steam on the water.... or I remember being on a chair lift going up the mountain in colorado. Or, or, or, there are a million examples.....that is one of my praise languages. I'm right there with you
