God is enough...

ok this post might be added to at later dates...
basically i bought a book at Equip called 'God is enough' by Ray Galea.
http://www.matthiasmedia.com.au/god-is-enough

each chapter focuses on a Psalm and kinda goes through it in little chunks and in devotional style...

so i've been reading this book and really enjoy it. might be because i do really like the psalms. they are very poetic at times and angry psalms are great to read when ur feeling not so good...

so i thought i'd do my own devotional 'chapter' on some psalms that werent in the book but i really like.

Psalm 24
v 1-2 "The earth is the Lord's and everything in it, the world and all who live in it.
For he founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.."

We're studying Job in bible study and in the last few chapters God speaks to Job "where were you when I laid the earth's foundation?..." (Job 38)
In the context of Job we see God's character - He is the amazing God who created all things and who sustains all things. Who knows all things. And who are we to question His wisdom...

This earth is amazing... look at creation. The other night i looked up at the stars at a friend's place and just marveled at creation. That God spoke and night became night and day was day and the stars in the heavens shine beautifully and constantly. And God is in charge of all of that...
He's also in charge of everything below the heavens cos He created it all...

These verses are a good opening reminding us of God's sovereignty and might in creation. But that we need to be humble in approaching God because we and everything on this earth belong to him.
