Thought for the Day 6/4/2021

 Friday Tale - Dependence

Have you ever flown in a passenger jet 35,000 feet above the ground? It's a totally different perspective on the world. We are so small. We all scramble around like ants from day to day in our own seemingly "big" world yet we are still so small when compared to the big picture of God's universe.

God has formed things in such a precise way that we are totally dependent upon him. Do you realize that if the Earth was much closer to the sun we couldn't survive the heat? If we were much further away, we couldn't survive the cold. If the earth's rate of rotation on its axis changed then our entire existence would be in jeopardy because the laws of gravity and physics would change.

Although some refuse to believe it, we are all dependent upon God and his mercies. Psalm 104: Verse 27 - 30 shows us how dependent we are upon God for our survival. He has provided the food that we eat. If He hides his face from us we are troubled. If He takes away our breath, we die. It's amazing, God is so big and such an integral part of our lives but most people tend to miss Him. 

Take a moment to recognize your dependence upon the mercies of God and rejoice in His works.

 May God bless your day with abundant living.

 O Lord, how manifold are Your works!
In wisdom You have made them all; the earth is full of Your riches. 
They all wait for You to give them their food in due season. 
You send forth Your breath, they are created;
and You renew the face of the ground. 
Let the glory of the LORD endure forever;
Let the LORD be glad in His works.
~ Psalm 104:24-31
