A storm rages
outside my window right now. The thunder
rolls like bowling balls being thrown down old alley floors while lightning
flashes in the black skies like a photographer’s flash. We’ve already lost power once and I don’t
want to take a chance on losing it again, so today’s post will be shorter than
normal.
For he looks to the ends of the earth and sees
everything under the heavens. When he gave to the wind its weight and
apportioned the waters by measure, when he made a decree for the rain and a way
for the lightning of the thunder, then he saw it and declared it; he
established it, and searched it out. Job
28:24-27 ESV
God is big
enough that He can see the ends of the earth and everything else. He sees all of mankind and everything they do
(scary thought, hey?), “The eyes of Jehovah are
in every place, beholding the evil and the good.” (Pr. 15:3). “From His dwelling place He looks on all the
people of the earth.” (Ps. 33:14) indicates He sees all of us in every place
doing good and evil for “…all things are
naked and opened to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.” (Hb. 4:13). In comparison, I can only see about three
feet in front of me and a few feet to each side.
Our mighty
God created the universe (Gn. 1) by His word, “…the ages were framed by a word
of God…” (Hb. 11:3) and sustains it by His word as well, “…upholding all things
by the word of His power…” (Hb. 1:3). So
He chose how it would all work, when seasons and times would happen, how the
rain cycle would work and the winds would blow.
God set it all in motion and only He determines how it functions. It was God that established the thunder and
lightning that I’m hearing and seeing right now!
God sees it
God declares it
God
establishes it
God
searches it out!
Our God is the Most High God, the only living God of
the Universe!
Praise His name forevermore!
