SORRY! CORRECTION ADDED

"Of old You laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands."  (Psalm 102:25)

I also used today's text for the PSALM NUGGET.  What needs to be added, however, is the "fulfillment" of our text found in Hebrews 1:10, referring to Jesus, "And: 'You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands."

No wonder Paul says, "....We preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness...."  Indeed, the whole of the message concerning Jesus Christ is, "....a stumbling block...and foolishness.., to the unbelieving, "....but to us who are being saved it is the Power of God."  What foolishness!---- to declare that a 5'7", 155 pound, Middle Eastern Jew, "the carpenter's son," should be the fulfillment of, "....You laid the foundation of the earth...." 

Ah, but to me, "....it is the power of God."

Father, in Jesus' Name, I pray for any who are church-goers who secretly think that this is "foolishness."  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.'"
Hebrews 12:2
