"Bringing Them Down"

"The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon." (Psalms 29:5) Notwithstanding, there is no one too big that God cannot take down and make low; that said, there are those that He allows to go to their grave buried in their treasures; although, they seldom actually get to be buried with it, if their family does not take it all away, then the government will. The cedars of Lebanon where known for their deep roots, which are not usually found in the pines, and they were uncommonly tall, without many knots, and not liable to decay. Yes, it's also true that lightning can strike trees and break them; so you could make the point about David writing this during a thunder storm; although, God speaks through the simple minded things also, even something as simple as lightning striking a tall tree! You see, some of the biggest and most powerful men alive, do not believe that they need God, nor do they desire to know that God even exist; as a matter of fact, they go out of their way to find reasons to deny His existence, even at the expense of a large percentage of their wealth. I know the Bible says, "There is nothing new under the sun", (Ecclesiastes 1:9), but really now, we have come quite far over these last hundred years; so far, that they are beginning to grow internal body parts in laboratories, to be used for transplants; now that is something new, don't you think? Never mind all the insane technology that people have within their lives; stuff that twenty years ago was just a dream in the mind of someone waiting to produce it; some of which, was not even thought of, until the previous device was created, like apps for your phones that can detect and register earthquakes, or monitor your heart and blood pressure. These are things that are extremely new, but they are  also things that can quickly be dissolved or taken away; just as snowflakes, which are not only unique in their shapes and patterns, but they are extraordinarily complex in their composure..."The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us. There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after." (Ecclesiastes 1:9-11)
