Read: Job 9:1-10
[God] does great things past finding out, yes, wonders without number. —Job 9:10
Bible In One Year: Psalms 79-80; Romans 11:1-18
When writer Aletha Lindstrom needs a lift for her spirits, she thinks of her favorite poetry book called Who Tells The Crocuses It's Spring? That prompts her to ask other questions like, "Who makes the trees turn all those beautiful colors in the autumn? Who splashes rain in shining puddles? Who makes the stars shimmer in the night?"
Such questions ought to stimulate our own grateful meditation. Centuries ago, Job exclaimed that it is God who "does great things past finding out, yes, wonders without number" (Job 9:10).
It is God who reminds the sun to rise at its appointed time every morning. It is God who keeps the earth steadily rotating at tremendous speed. It is God who feeds the sparrow and dresses the lilies in their splendor. It is God who guides the feathered flocks southward in the autumn and then brings them north again in the spring.
Argue if you like that all these wonders are simply the operation of the laws of nature. But just as civil law is the expression of human will, so also natural law is the expression of God's will and wisdom.
As we see the wonders of creation all around us, let's worship the One who designed them. —Vernon Grounds
Good morning Billie. Good job!
O.k. LadyX and Gabz; I'm ready to continue our last night discussions... but first I must get off line for a while to call my mom. She and Dad still live in New Orleans and I don't like the looks of that tropical storm out in the Gulf now. I know the chance of it hitting there is slim but you never know...
I'll be back--
Good morning, Billie. I don't think we spoke yesterday. Good to see you. Hope you have a terrific Tuesday.
Your creations are always beautifully done,
thought-provoking and interesting, Billie.
Anything worth seeing once,
can be even better on the second round.

We're getting ready for a couple of hurricanes to come through this area. You wouldn't think that they would affect the Blue Ridge Mountains but they do. Lots of wind gusts and heavy rains. We lost some of our largest hickory trees back when Opal came through.
