Hanging On Nothing
June 22, 2013

A world map published by the National Geographic Society has this notation: “Earth’s mass is 6.6 sextillion tons.” And what supports all that weight? Nothing. The planet we inhabit spins on its axis at 1,000 miles per hour as it hurtles through space in its orbit around the sun. But it’s easy for that to remain unnoticed in the midst of our daily concerns about health, relationships, and how to pay the bills.

The Old Testament character Job repeatedly considered God’s creation in his struggle to make sense of the numbing loss of his health, his wealth, and his children. “[God] stretches out the north over empty space,” Job said. “He hangs the earth on nothing” (Job 26:7). Job marveled at the clouds that did not break under the heavy water inside them (v.8) and the horizon “at the boundary of light and darkness” (v.10), but called them “the mere edges of His ways” (v.14).

Creation itself did not answer Job’s questions, but the heavens and the earth pointed him to God the Creator, who alone could respond with help and hope.

The Lord who upholds the universe by the “word of His power” (Heb. 1:3; Col. 1:17) is in control of our everyday lives. Experiences that seem “empty places” are all undergirded by our heavenly Father’s power and love.

Dear Lord, we praise You for Your infinite power.
You created the world out of nothing and uphold
it by Your word. Help me to remember that You
are also in control of every part of my life.

When we reflect on the power of God’s creation, we see the power of His care for us.

Read: Job 26:5-14

He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth on nothing. —Job 26:7

Bible in a Year:
Esther 6-8; Acts 6

*AH So Relaxin'*
Dogurday Is Spa Day

Think you'll like this one even better, Weinie.
;o)

[MEG33]

Sorry about the crazy tagline..My tremor is really bad today and I see I put a background in the tagline..

My mouse will not be controlled at times. It leaps..it jumps..it skates erratically.
;o)

[lonestar]

I'm really liking this one. I'm off to put bubbles in my tub and cucumbers on my eyes!

Good Morning, Meg!

[MEG33]

Good to see you! I know you are anxious to get Jack to his new home.

[TheConservativeParty]

Ha, you’re right! I never had to have a horse transported 1000 miles before. The shipper is a pro, but still it’s a long way. I need to be really careful about the dietary changes so the horse doesn’t colic on me. I feel like a “worried Momma”. He might leave CO on Monday.

[jaycee]

Bless you, Meg. I probably wouldn’t have noticed had you not called it to our attention. I’m sitting here in my robe but getting ready to get cleaned up. Doesn’t matter to me....sometimes relaxing, resting is better than always hurrying to do the next thing.

I hope you and everyone are enjoying a peaceful, restful day. I plan to do that when I get cleaned up. I have nothing pushing me at the moment. (((HUGS)))

[MEG33]

Safe journey best wishes to your Jack.

[MEG33]

I posted on a prayer thread and some others before I noticed my tagline..LOL
I am having a peaceful day, thank you, jaycee..I am through with rushing days..

[lonestar]

LOL!

~It's Caturday/Dogurday~

Enjoy It!

[jaycee]

You have a very talented mouse...LOL!!! All kidding aside, I know your tremor is worse at times and aggravating, too. Does that tremor just come and go, like some days its there and other days its not there?

I hope you are having a nice day, Meg. I think I may take a nap...sounds mighty good. I just had lunch and seems after a meal, you need to sleep....LOL! Its a beautiful day here but too hot to sit out on the porch. So the next choice is a nice long nap. (takes a lot of beauty sleep for me and then it doesn’t work!)

[oldteen]

Great opening, M!

Quite the pet of leisure! That saying about "cats have servants" looks to be quite true with this one! lol
