God is so wise and powerful…………………
We cannot understand the great things he does, and to his miracles there is no end.
There was once a king who wanted to see God and he threatened all the priests and wise men with the direst consequences if they did not succeed in showing God to him. As they were deep in thought, along came a shepherd who took the king to a meadow, pointed at the sun and said, “Take a good look.” The king hardly tried when he dropped his head and screamed, “what do you want to do; blind me?” “But, your Majesty,” said the shepherd, “the sun is only one of God’s creatures, a pale image of Himself. If you cannot look at the sun, how could you ever look at God?”
God is so wise and powerful; no man can stand up against him. Without warning he moves mountains and in anger he destroys them. God sends earthquakes and shakes the ground; he rocks the pillars that support the earth. He can keep the sun from rising, and the stars from shining at night. No one helped God spread out the heavens or trample the sea-monster’s back. God hung the stars in the sky–the Great Bear, Orion, the Pleiades, and the stars of the south. We cannot understand the great things he does, and to his miracles there is no end. (The Bible, Job 9:3).
