Went to the Georgia Acquarium this week and heard all the oohs and aahs of evolution causing all the beautiful colors or making the fish blend into their environment to save them from predators. My heart sang instead to see the most creative artist of all time - GOD - having designed every spot, stripe or unique design and size of every fish, starfish, turtle, sea horse, etc. that we saw.
There were probably a thousand different types of fish, not to mention, types of penguins, sea otters and sea lions and Beluga whales and dolphins all playing and performing and my heart was just pounding away. I was happy to see that God cares so much about His creation that He gave them a playful attitude, loving ways, lots of penguins seemed in pairs and the sea otters were playfully cuddling the whole time we stood there to watch. It made me think of love.
On our way home we saw a magnificent sunset. "God's in His heaven, all is right with the world." So to speak, since we really are faced with quite a few very disturbing dramas on earth. Still, no matter what is going on, especially in our own United States, to believe in an Almighty God, Who created it all, loves it all, sustains it all, has a plan and purpose in it all, gives me perfect peace. Proverbs 3:5 and 6 says we are to trust Him in and for everything and not to "lean on our own understanding." That's the most important part of those verses - we are NOT going to understand any of it. But if, and we are supposed to trust in HIM, then it is all going to work out as He has planned and purposed from the beginning of time and therefore it is all going to be all right.
No, we can't see it or ever begin to understand and in most cases we don't want it either, but TRUTH is truth and that is that. If we trust HIM in it then HE makes our paths straight. HE leads us all the way.
So just as I shared yesterday about all the things I had wished to be and still at 73 not really sure just who or what I am or should be still - I do rest and do have peace in the fact that I may not know or understand - but GOD does and GOD is in control of it all, and so I don't have to worry or begroan any of it. I do have to work on that constantly but I purpose to work against it because I know the Lord wants my unfailing faith and loving devotion every minute no matter what is going on around me. So I pray constantly for this for me and for all of us doing our best to be His witnesses to all we meet and influence in our lives.
