For this last year, my being has been totally overwhelmed....in awe....and it can't even "be reckoned up".....with God's soverienty, His goodness, His love, His creation.....everything. He has choosen some of us to come out of the religeous worldy way of teaching, thinking, and worship, and into peacefullness. This past year its been one truth after another that has been allowed into my heart. I see the "christian" world with all it's different "beliefs", bigger better best buildings, the intertainment drama, the love of money at their roots, with all the debaters and hell believers.....and then I think about the plain simple pure beautiful truth of God and where He has led us. Psalm 40 verse 5 says "Many, O Lord My God, are Thy wonderful works which thou has done, and thy thoughts which are to usward.....they cannot be reckoned up in order unto Thee. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered." I think about the fellowship I have here, after all the years and years of so many other churches. I think of where I was, and where He has brought me. I think of His creation, His universe, that is beyond our mind. I've read things (or tried to...lol) about the universe, and have eagerly looked up the photographs we now have from Hubble, and others.....and it just blows your mind away. I went back and read some past posts where you were talking about these things, because there are alot of us that know exactly what I'm saying. There was one in peticular, last September, titled "amazing!".....it's well worth the search, and read. He's allowed me to witness a fireball, just about a month ago. It's something that will never leave ones memory! (I love some tv's Discovery channel).....and some of their shows about the universe. (we can discern what is of evolution, speculation, etc, and ignore it, and so forth).....but on one, it showed the thin crust of the earth, with the next layers, and the huge huge inner core full of gas, etc. It spoke to my heart so strong! I got up to make a cup of coffee, thinking about it, and came to tears.. . . and several times after that too. God Almighty takes me....one of millions....opens my eyes to the scriptural truth.....and has me sitting on a planet with a very very thin crust with a core of nothing but gases.....and I trust Him ! Because of science and man's technology, etc.. there's a whole new world being discovered at the depths of the ocean.....and the heights of the universe.....and yet it's still amazing that a small seed will produce a flower, or a small nut a mighty tree.
It's just totally awesome. And yet I'm not saying this or posting this in any boasting way. Totally the opposite...it's just totally humbling. The bible is full of this sort of amazement. Job and his friends said it. The Psalms are precious declaring it. And I have been given a whole new family of brothers and sisters, to boot!
