• Just a Reminder…
  
  Today is a good day to focus on God’s control of the Universe.  Things are not… and never will… spin out of His control.  Don’t let anyone throw you into a panic and tell you otherwise! We can count on that fact and on His faithfulness! Here is an encouraging word from Pastor Roy

  “Listen, you foolish and senseless people, with eyes that do not see and ears that do not hear. Have you no respect for me? Why don’t you tremble in my presence? I, the LORD, define the ocean’s sandy shoreline as an everlasting boundary that the waters cannot cross. The waves may toss and roar, but they can never pass the boundaries I set.”
  Jeremiah 5:21

  “It’s awesome that in our generation we are now able to see things in the heavens, on the earth, under the earth and under the sea that no one else has ever seen except God and the angels.  Our technology has gotten so developed that we can see deep into the heavens with wonderful clarity and see clearly into the cells and molecules of our bodies and even cut individual atoms with precision.  Our scientists have helped us to see God’s handy work everywhere around us and yet they tell us that there is no God and that what we see and hear is just the result of a series of fortunate accidents.  No wonder that God told Jeremiah to tell us that we are foolish and senseless people who can not see or hear.  For generations we have blindly followed these experts without realizing that what they were also doing was turning us away from the Creator God who has given us life and kept us alive.  We have stopped respecting the God of creation.  We no longer fear his power or depend on him for life.
  
  Now that God has been taken out of the way, we are stuck with trying to keep the world together ourselves.  Instead of trusting God’s plan for creation we are doing our best to stop the heat that is melting our polar ice and are being told that if we don’t do something dramatic we will soon find ourselves overwhelmed by the rising seas.  The God who created the earth tells us that there is no possibility that will ever happen.  When God created the earth he also determined the everlasting boundaries that can never be crossed.  The God who created the heavens and the earth knows exactly how to keep everything in balance so that what he has planned for the years ahead will happen exactly as he has described.  The book of Revelation tells us that fearful days are coming because of our rebellion against him.  Yes the seas may toss and roar, but they can never pass the boundaries that God has set.  May the Lord help us to defend his truth by the way we teach and live.
