The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Psalm 19:1-3
What a beautiful passage in Psalms, written by the Psalmist David. We gaze up into the skies, especailly at night and see the handiwork of a Holy God. The moon and a zillion or more stars hang there, giving glory to God in their own brilliance. How awesome!
And yet, when I went to Yahoo or Google news yesterday, some of the headlines read:
-Kremlin hails Russian troops in Ukraine as hero's
-Russian troops seize site of nuclear plant fire
-Ukraine border miliary build-up continues as diplomatic tensions grow
Many lives hang in the balance in the war between good and evil.
How did it ever get to this point? Or for any other, for that matter?
Actually, it's simple.
Jesus said that there will be wars and rumors of wars. That all of these things have to come to pass. That nations shall rise up against nation.... (Mathew 24)
It has been going on from the very first earthly war between two brothers in the Garden of Edon.
It is scary to think about it and wondering if our own country will once again be thrown into a bloody battlefield of death and destruction at some point.
But there is good news as we gaze up into the heavens and contemplate God's glory.
He has promised to never leave us. He is with us at all times. Even to the end of the age. (Mathew 28:20)
Thanks for coming by today, Friends. Have a blessed day!
