"In A Mighty God"

"Be Thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let Thy glory be above all the earth." (Psalms 57:11) When you get right down to it, "Pleading for God's Help" is not even possible if you cannot get past simply believing that He can do anything, and that He loves you. Forget about trying to figure out how God does anything, because it's not a magic trick or some kind of illusion, as some might think; our God has put so much detail into His creation, it should make each and every one of us understand how much He cares for every little bit of our lives, even the parts that might seem painful and ugly, even the moments of death. That's the part that we can't quite get settled in our hearts, and the biggest excuse that people have for not believing in God, and to deny that He loves us, is the part about suffering and death, as if God designed it all to be this way! This is a fallen world in which we live, one that has been altered from the original creation because of sin; that ought to tell you how important that we are to God and His creation, that the sin of one man could cause such a devastating mess, and change, not only position of all mankind, but the condition of the earth. The bottom line in all of this, is to keep looking up, because the glory of God is still to come; yes, there is still glory to be found, even within the fallen state, this earth and all of it's spender gives testimony to God's majesty and His love for detail. Right now, take just a moment of you busy life, and ask yourself something very important, Do I believe that God really cares about my life? Not asking, Do I really believe that He cares? in the sense of do I believe, but does He really care what I am going through, or how my day is going to turn out? I think we tend to shrug our shoulders at that thought, as if it really does not matter that much in the big picture; but don't you know, can't you see how meticulous that God is to every little detail; shouldn't that give us a clue about how much He is actually involved in our daily lives? By the way, the closing verses from yesterday were taken from the New Living Translation, which I have been reading in lately. I have always loved the King James, and I will still continue to study in it, but the NLT is fun to read; as a matter of fact, I just bought a Giant Print Edition without all the study motes and guides, just the Scriptures only, and a few simple footnotes. I have probably gone through the King James version at least fifteen to twenty times, so this is almost a fresh read, as I go from Genesis to Revelation once again. I was reminded again this morning about the "Washbasin" that God had given Moses instructions to build (Exodus 30:17-18), which was to filled with water for washing, and which signifies the Word of God; and how everything else that was built was given measurements to be built by, except for this "Washbasin"... "I saw before me what seemed like a glass sea mixed with fire. And on it stood all the people who had been victorious over the beast and his statue and the number representing  his name. They were all holding harps that God had given them. And they were singing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb: "Great and marvelous are your works, O Lord God, the Almighty. Just and true are your ways, O King of nations. Who will not fear you, Lord, and glorify your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous deeds have been revealed." (Revelation 15:2-4 NLT)
