Mighty God

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Wednesday morning, it is the 2nd of August, 2023, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. 

We start in the Book of Job 38:4:

“Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? 
Who has ascended into heaven, or descended?
Who has gathered the wind in His fists?
Who has bound the waters in a garment?
Who has established all the ends of the earth?
What is His name, and what is His Son's name,
If you know?”
Proverbs 30:4

Then we go to the Gospel of Mark 4:41:

" And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, "Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!"

Oh, we need to show much more respect and honour to this mighty God and His Son, Jesus Christ. Indeed, He is a miracle-working God. In five weeks' time, I have the privilege of taking a very large group of pilgrims to Israel, to Jesus country. Oh, what a day that will be when we touch down at the airport at Ben Gurion! We will walk in the footsteps of Jesus Christ. We will sit together on the shores of Lake Galilee, which is approximately 13 km wide and 21 km long, and listen to the gentle waves lapping up against the shore. But you know that that lake can become very stormy and extremely dangerous in a matter of hours. It's my favourite place in Jesus country, the Lake of Galilee, and I will tell the pilgrims the story of the Son of God who literally walked across the lake on the top. Yes, it is not a shallow lake, it is extremely deep, 13 km across the top of the water. What man has ever done that? What man has ever walked on water? And that same man, the Son of God, calmed the raging storm with one word. We must honour and respect Him. That is when Peter said, "Who is this man that even the waves and the wind respect Him?". I want to say to you today, my dear friend, call upon Jesus if you have a need or a problem, and He will help you. He will not fail you. In 1 Peter 5:7, the word of God says: 

"…casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you."

Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,
Goodbye.
