Psalm 94-95

95: 5 The sea is his, for he made it,
and his hands formed the dry land.
6 Come, let us bow down in worship,
let us kneel before the Lord our Maker;
 
 
I don't have much today, but I was just thinking about the vastness of the world, the solar system and the universer.  We search for lost planes in the depths of the ocean but find nothing because it is so huge.  A piece of the Malaysian jet from 2014 has apparently washed up somewhere but where is the rest of it?  God knows, and he knows everything in the depths of the sea that humans are intrigued to spend time investigating.  We send a spaceship for out to catch a couple glimpses of Pluto, what 10 years ago?  He already knows Pluto.  Kind of crazy that the one that knows all this stuff knows me too and the depths of my thoughts and I have the opportunity to talk to him--if I only take it.

  1. Its hard to wrap my mind around the vastness of God. To put all the things into motion, in one quick swoop.....that we have taken millions of years, to try to figure out. Amazing!

    9Does he who fashioned the ear not hear?
    Does he who formed the eye not see?
    10 Does he who disciplines nations not punish?
    Does he who teaches mankind lack knowledge?
    11 The Lord knows all human plans;
    he knows that they are futile.

    I read this along the same lines. God knows all and sees all. He knows that all of our plans are futile. And yet, he loves us enough to let us try our own way. That's pretty crazy! I think about my kids. If they do something that I know will lead them down a bad path, I tell them right away. And probably not in a loving, caring, encouraging sort of way. But, to sit back and let them make those decisions, and live with the outcome? That must be really hard.
