God’s Perspective
The young man asked God what a million dollars was to him. God replied, “A million dollars to me is just like a single penny to you.”
Then the young man got his courage up and asked, “God, could I have one of your pennies?”
God smiled and replies, “Certainly, just a second.”
God’s Wings
An article in National Geographic several years ago provided a penetrating picture of God’s wings…
After a forest fire in Yellowstone National Park, forest rangers began their trek up a mountain to assess the inferno’s damage. One ranger found a bird literally petrified in ashes, perched statuesquely on the ground at the base of a tree. Somewhat sickened by the eerie sight, he knocked over the bird with a stick.
When he struck it, three tiny chicks scurried from under their dead mother’s wings.
The loving mother, keenly aware of impending disaster, had carried her offspring to the base of the tree and had gathered them under her wings, instinctively knowing that the toxic smoke would rise. She could have flown to safety but had refused to abandon her babies.
When the blaze had arrived and the heat had scorched her small body, the mother had remained steadfast. Because she had been willing to die, those under the cover of her wings would live.
“He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge” (Psalm 91:4)
Being loved this much should make a difference in your life. Remember the One who loves you and then, be different because of it.
God’s Mighty Works
He creates the glorgeous sunrise, that each new day adorns.
The power of the lightning, the loud rumble of the thunder…
It’s no surprise that our very lives are filled with awestruck wonder.
Each precious little baby, their bodies He creates.
His work is done invisibly, as each new mother awaits
The birth of her little miracle, for she knows its life will be
A gift from God, the Father, given abundantly.
The majestic mountain splendor, the power of the sea.
The radiant colors of sunsets, that He paints masterfully.
Volcano’s fiery fury, and water-formed rock formations
Didn’t end up here by accident, all are His creations.
A rainbow’s spectrum of color, that spreads across the sky.
A rippling brook that calms you, as it laughingly passes by.
The sight and scent of flowers, the eagle that gracefully soars.
Through all of these, our Generous Father, to us His love out pours.
But to me, the greatest miracle He will ever bring about
Is the grace He shows to each of us – it makes me want to SHOUT!
For the very hands that form all of these wondrous sights we see
Are holding me in their embrace, lovingly and securely.
