When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? Psalm 8:3-4
Tomorrow I will be flying many miles and will see God’s heaven and stars from a different perspective. With so many problems in the world, it make me think of the words of one of our great poets. ‘every prospect pleases and only man is vile.’
The ears of everyone who hears of it will tingle. Jeremiah 19:3
It makes you want to read more to find out why.
We are not like God. We look at outward appearances and then judge. God sees what is in the heart. This can sometimes make us fearful.
Here God instructs Samuel to choose David whose heart was good, instead of his handsome looking brothers.
But God looks at the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7
Yet my people have forgotten Me. Jeremiah 18:15
God said this thousands of years ago about Israel. Could He say the same thing about us today?
I pray that as a Christian this is something I may have more of.
But a Samaritan…..when He saw him, He had compassion. Luke 10:33
It’s hard to know who to trust in these uncertain times. We need to have our roots grounded in something secure.
Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. He will be like a tree planted by the water. Jeremiah 12:7-8
Biblical hope is not like human hope.
For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees. Romans 8:24
The water I give them will become in them a spring of water, welling up to eternal life. John 4:14
It is only in periods of drought that we realise how essential water is to sustain life. We can live longer without food than we can without food.
This could be good news, or bad news. – Before a word is on my tongue, You Lord know it completely. Psalm 139:4
‘Why do all who are treacherous thrive? Jeremiah 12:1 Although this is an over statement, we have an innate sense of justice. It is an age-old question we have of God. All we know is that God is a just God.
