One morning this week I went for a run around the lakes in our neighborhood. I began to praise God for the beauty of the morning, the birds flying, the trees and shrubs. All of creation declares the glory of the Lord! The Lord is majestic, a royal King who rules over all.
Then my mind began to ponder how God's understanding and wisdom were so far beyond humans. God thought of everything and at his command they came into existence. The stars, planets, and galaxies are awe-inspiring and they had their beginning in the mind of God.
Here on earth, one thing I'm fascinated by is the water cycle: evaporation, condensation into clouds, rain and snow, runoff that goes into streams, rivers, ponds, lakes and oceans. Then it starts over again! God designed an amazing system to spread moisture over the earth and provide water for every living thing, human, creature, or plant. No human system compares.
"O Lord our Lord, the majesty of your name fills the earth! Your glory is higher than the heavens." (Psalm 8:1)
Since God's wisdom and knowledge are so far beyond that of humans, and the fact that he is a good and loving God who is working everything out for my best (Rom 8:28), why do I think that I know best? God's ways are always best and he is fully trustworthy!
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge him and he will direct your paths."(Prov 3:5-6)
