I went four wheelin’ the other day. It’s been years since I’ve been on the back of a four wheeler and I had forgotten what a great time it is to talk to the Lord. Granted, I spend the majority of the conversation praying He gets me safely off whatever hill it is I’m on, but we still talk!
Anyways, we were out in the middle of the woods and I looked to the left. I could see so far out and the trees from other hills. The picture-worthy view made me instantly smile: He alone is God. He designed the scenery and setting for our enjoyment.
We went a little ways further and we drove over some small trees that had fallen from recent storms. There were lots more down in the woods. I smiled again: He alone is God. He placed every single tree in that forest. He fed, watered, and shined on them. He saw every single one that fell, and He knows exactly where it lies.
By this time, I was overflowing with His greatness. I thought about a little boy who has been battling cancer. Just mere weeks ago, the doctors were sure it was back. I smiled again: He alone is God. The little guy went for more tests and puzzled them all…no trace of what they thought was there. The Lord had heard seemingly hopeless prayers and answered it.
Going on, I thought about my own life and smiled: He alone is God. He has designed the scenery and setting of my life according to His purpose for me. He has fed me, watered me, and shined on me. He saw every single time I’ve fallen and He knew exactly where I was lying. He has answered prayers that I thought were hopeless and against the odds. He alone is God, but more than that, He alone is MY God!
“…I the Lord do all these things.”
Isaiah 45:7 KJV
