Isaiah 45:7

"I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things."
Isaiah 45:7


Again with the marvelous power of God... it is overwhelming at times.  You know, though... it provides some perspective in our sometimes-rough lives. The things that really matter aren't usually the things that we are struggling with every day.  If we lose earthly possessions... God will provide.  If we lose our jobs, our patience... our sanity... God will provide.  The only thing that we have to worry about, really, is losing God. If we lose him, then we have lost everything.  Because HE makes the light... the darkness, the mountains and the trees.  Everything around us is because of him.  He makes peace, and evil... mosquitoes and fish, all of it. :)
Today we could lose our jobs, make really poor decisions, be late for everything... and God will still be there, watching over the world, and pleading with us to come back to him.  No matter where we are today, let's remember that.  God loves us... he wants us to be a part of his life... and it is only because of him that there is even anything else to deal with. When we are evaluating our priorities today, and choosing what to focus on, let's remember what is most important... what makes everything else work, and live, and move, and grow.  God.  Talk about amazing. :)
