Good Morning Friends,
“For who in the skies above can compare with
the LORD? Who is like the LORD among the
heavenly beings? In the council of the
holy ones God is greatly feared; he is more awesome than all who surround
him. O LORD God Almighty, who is like
you? You are mighty, O LORD, and your
faithfulness surrounds you. You rule
over the surging sea; when its waves mount up, you still them. You crushed Rahab like one of the slain; with
your strong arm you scattered your enemies.
The heavens are yours, and yours also the earth; you founded the world
and all that is in it. You created the
north and the south; Tabor and Hermon sing for joy at your name. Your arm is endued with power; your hand is
strong, your right hand exalted.
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; love and
faithfulness go before you. Blessed are
those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence,
O LORD.” (Psalm 89:6-15)
There is no one like God! He is held in reverence among the heavenly
beings. He alone controls the sea and
its waves, no one else can even try. The
heavens belong to God. He set the
seasons. He designed the weather
patterns. He controls the sun and the
stars.
We may study all of these things and we may
learn a great deal about them, but no one can control them, no one except God.
The earth, too, belongs to God. We can predict earthquakes, sometimes, but we
cannot stop them or reroute them. We can
track tornados and other storms, but we can’t divert them from the path God has
set them on. All the forces of the earth
are in God’s control, no one else’s.
And what is the One who controls heaven,
earth, and sea known for? Power. Strength.
Righteousness. Justice. Love.
Faithfulness. These are His
unchanging characteristics. His power,
strength, and authority are enough for us to fear Him. His righteousness, justice, love, and
faithfulness are more than enough to make us love Him and seek His presence.
His, by Grace,
Steve
