A few years ago I wrote a devotional book called “Life-Changing Water: from Chaos to Glory” about how God uses water imagery in the Bible as a metaphor for stages in our lives. An absence of water is life-threatening. So is the absence of God in our lives, in the eternal sense. But God is a God of abundance. Witness the snowfall this weekend. While it is a temporary threat, it is nevertheless a bounty when the summer comes. We need that water to raise our crops and to create lush landscapes we enjoy. You get the point.
Our God is gracious and merciful, and we enjoy peace when we recognize He is sovereign, in control, and Omnipotent. Man makes up crises like climate change and such. For generations, God has run the universe just fine, and in His infinite wisdom uses weather and climate as His domain. Man only thinks he can raise the temperature, or lower it, by one degree Celsius, and put himself on the throne. No way.
Psalm 104 is a great place to contemplate God’s wisdom and His guidance. “Bless the Lord O my soul! O Lord, my God, You are very great! You are clothed with splendor and majesty, covering Yourself with light as with a garment, stretching our the heavens like a tent. He lays the beams of His chambers on the waters; He makes the clouds his chariot; He rides on the wings of the wind; He makes His messengers winds, His ministers a flaming fire. . I invite you to read this Psalm today.
