"Just as you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother's womb, so you do not know the work of God, the Creator of all." (Ecclesiastes 11:5, NCB))
When things seem a bit overwhelming, just consider that you and I are riding on that little blue and white marble, represented by the Globe in the video, around the sun at 67,000 mph, and our solar system, of which that little blue and white marble is a part, is moving at nearly 500,000 mph throughout our Galaxy. And the speed at which our Galaxy is moving through the Universe, are you ready?--- 1.3 million mph. Frankly, I just, "....cannot understand the work of God...."(NIV)
Therefore, whatever the "I-can't-deal-with-it" in life is for you and me, Jesus Christ, the one who upholds the Universe, "by the Word of His power," is our Keeping and Sustaining Power. And even when we may feel as though our life is "coming apart," remember that Colossians 1 tells us,"By Jesus, everything is held together"------ even at 1.3 million mph.
Father, in Jesus' Name, "When I consider the works of Thy fingers...What is man..?" Amen.

When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
