Day 4450: Enjoying the Central Coast of CA with relatives from Minnesota. So thankful to live in such a beautiful area!
Scripture: The Lord smelled the pleasing aroma and said in His heart: “Never again will I curse the ground because of humans, even though every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done. As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.” Genesis 8:21, 22
Thoughts/questions: Most of us are familiar with God’s promise to never again destroy the world and the confirming rainbow. But what I noticed in today’s verses was the promise that basically covered the entire universe. Without the WHOLE world being pretty much just as it is now, we would not have seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night never ceasing. And as far as recorded history, our world has not changed much if at all!
So from the tiniest animal to the universe itself, God has put into motion a system that we all enjoy each day, each season, and each year! Seasons are the engine that drives Earth’s habitability. Without our tilt, very few of us would exist on the planet. Scientists hypothesize a big crash that tilted the earth. God said He created the seasons and did so intentionally at creation by tilting it. I’m going to believe God rather than people projecting what just might have happened millions of years ago!
Yes, as the song says, ‘He’s got the whole world in His hands!’
Suggested prayer: Almighty God, many people try to eliminate You from existence, but I know You created everything . . .
