What do we think of when we think of the word Almighty? GOd is referred to as the Almighty Isaiah 9:6 and Psalm 24:8. I think of the sun and its massive size and awesome power. In fact awesome doesnt even come close to describing the power of the sun.
Recently I viewed a program by NOVA on the sun. The sun and its core that is the nuclear reactions deep inside its core produce the energy that powers our universe. Many thousands earth could fit into the sun, the heat near the sun is millions of degrees.
Even the solar flares that produce solar waves that hit the earth reach speads of 5 million miles an hour. Whoa, thats is incredibly fast and not only that, the earth shield has for the most part absorbed this sun impact on us. The incredible burst of energy from the sun are so powerful that is God hadnt designed a natural shield, the ozone layer to protect, it would fry us in short order!
One partially burst of the suns flares could melt out infrastructure and put us in the Dark Ages, for months, even years!
Thank God its placed 93 million miles away!
God is so Mighty and yet so genius that he designed the sun, which in itself is a mindboggling feat. He keeps the sun in its orbit, (imagine if it it flew out or orbit)??! He designed the earth to be protected and the planets to stay in perfect alignment! Without Gods powerful hand at work, holding all things together, there would be no civilized world as we know it!
It always amazes me at these so called educated people that try to imagine a world without God. It all happened by chance.. when all around them life is teeming with evidence of design, right under their own nose!
I love the song..
Praise to the Lord the Almighty the King of Creation
All my soul praise Him for he is thy health and salvation
and so on..
COLOSSIANS 1:17 tells us "He is before all things, and by Him all things consist"
God is the bonding agent, the creator, and the sustainer of this Universe we live in. THis gives me pause and a reason to glorify and worship Him. Whenever we get a 'little big for our britches" just remember that "HE KNOWS OUR FRAME AND REMEMBERS WE AR BUT DUST"
The very atoms, that power the nuclear energy of the sun, are present in us and our own energy cycles!
GOD THE ALMIGHTY, gives us every reason to love and serve Him, but He doesnt force us. Im glad I have Hin on my side!
Here here you are guys and gals. the link to NOVA and their awesome lineup of programs. I hope youll stop to reflect on God the Almighty!
