We Cannot Understand the Work of God

As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things. — Ecclesiastes 11:5

We cannot know the path of the wind that God creates.

And we can't begin to comprehend how the body is formed in our mother's womb.

God's creation is too intricate for us to begin to understand.

After all, He is the Maker of all things.

His works are beyond our comprehension.

And through them He communicates His love for us.

Call to Me and I Will Answer

This is what the Lord says, he who made the earth, the Lord who formed it and established it—the Lord is his name: ‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know. — Jeremiah 33:2-3 

God our creator made the earth and everything in it.

He formed it out of nothing.

The Lord established it.

He created this beautiful sunset we marveled at earlier this week in Palm Desert.

He created me.

Yaweh is His name.

And He says we can call to Him.

In fact, He commands us to call out to Him.

And He promises to answer.

Even more, He will tell us great and unsearchable things we do not know.

Amazing!

We Cannot Understand the Word of God

As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things. — Ecclesiastes 11:5

We do not know the path of the wind.

Only God knows that.

Or how our bodies are formed in the womb.

Only God knows that, since He alone is our Creator.

He is the Maker of everything.

 And His works are beyond our undertanding.

We Cannot Understand the Work of God

As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things. — Ecclesiastes 11:5

We do not know the path of the wind.

We cannot fathom how a baby's body is formed in its mother's womb.

How much less can we understand God's work.

Here's Kirk's cousin Rick's new grandbaby Chase Decker.

Jordan's latest little boy.

We love the way he's folding his hands.

And his fingers look like he could be a basketball player ...

Or a pianist!

We cannot understand the work of God.

He is the maker of all things.

And we marvel at His handiwork.

The Path of the Wind

Just as you do not know the path of the wind, and how bones are formed in the womb of the pregnant woman, so you do not know the activity of God who makes everything. — Ecclesiastes 11:15

I do not know the path of the wind.

Or how bones are formed in a baby growing inside it's mother's womb.

I cannot comprehend the activity and love of God.

He makes everything, yet He even cares for me.

And He cares for the smallest bird. 

This beautiful bird let us get up really close today before he decided to fly away.

God creates everything with love and care.

 

Maker of All Things

This is what the Lord says — your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb: I am the Lord, the Maker of all things, who stretches out the heavens, who spreads out the earth by myself. — Isaiah 44:24

God formed me in my mother's womb.

He knew me before anyone else did.

He has created all things - his artistry is all around me.

God stretches out the heavens.

He spreads out the earth by himself.

I praise Him for the beauty of His creation.

This was the view from our room last week in Palm Desert.

What a treat to have my morning coffee on the patio and to watch the geese waddle up on the grass in the evening.

The Lord is my Redeemer.

The Universe Was Formed at God's Command

By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. — Hebrews 11:3

Hiking Mt. Fortuna

Even though we can see God's marvelous universe, it was made out of nothing by God's mighty hand.

It is only by faith that we can begin to understand.

God created us and formed us in His image.

He even numbered the hairs on our heads.

It's really hard to comprehend.

Everything we see was formed at God's command.

We had nothing to do with it's creation.

How marvelous is that!

God Knows Me

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart. — Jeremiah 1:5

Wednesday I had my second MUGA scan to check my heart after chemo treatments.

They had some problems getting my blood due to the scar tissue in my arm, but all went well.

The first scan appeared to be very similar to the one I had done in March.

So I will meet with the radiation doctor at UCSD next week.

One of my acquaintances at church suggested I also look into proton beam therapy so it is not as likely to affect my heart.

So I have my list of questions ready for her (the doctor).

God knew me before he even formed me in the womb.

He set me apart before I was born. He is worthy of all of my praise.
