Psalm 93:1 (God's creation)


* Welcome God every morning before work by taking ~5 min to read this Living In Faith Exchange (LIFE) Group devotion, which has snippets from Living Faith (www.livingfaith.com).

And he has made the world firm, not to be moved. Psalm 93:1

Living Faith snippets: "God's creative activity is different from that of, say, a painter, who makes a painting and then moves on. Rather, God creates in every moment, breathing life into each of us, into all that is. Otherwise we would cease to exist. The evidence of his astonishing promise--that the world will surely stand in place--is here, now, waiting for us to see." by Mary Marrocco

Rich's comments: The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of an isolated system which is not in equilibrium will tend to increase over time, approaching a maximum value at equilibrium. In more simpler terms, the usefulness of energy constantly degrades; sort of like a wind-up toy that ceases to move after its spring mechanism has relaxed. The Earth, however, is not a wind-up toy that God has wound up and forgotten. The key word in the thermodynamics law is "isolated." The earth is not a closed system absent from outside interaction. God is living and actively involved in His creation and He is living in us. Lord, fill our hearts with Your love. Give us the strength and courage to do Your will on Earth as it is in Heaven. Amen

Through Christ Our Lord,
Rich
