All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full; to a place from which the rivers come. Ecclesiastes 1:7

 Every time I go to the Smokey Mountains, I’m just awed by the abundance of creeks and rivers flowing everywhere we go, and ponder how this much water could be produced from these mountains. I know it’s all God, but it’s still a mystery to me how it all works.

 Today’s verse speaks of this great mystery. Have you ever thought about it?

Genesis 1:9-10 states that God spoke the waters and dry land into existence and that each has its own boundary. It’s also a mystery to think that the God of this universe, who created land, seas, plants, and creatures of this earth also created you in His image (So God created man in His own image in the image of God He created him, male and female, He created them. Genesis 1:27). What’s truly fascinating is everything has order, like the seas don’t overfill from the rivers and how human life begins as one egg.

 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6

 There are some things in life you’ll never understand. Maybe what’s been happening in your life is a mystery and you wonder how you’ll manage in this new year. Trust that the God, who created you and this universe we live with all it’s order, has a specific plan for your life. Trusting Him every day is essential to building trust in God and that He has your best interest at heart. No matter what happens, just know it’s ordered by Him and you are on the right path for God’s blessings and spiritual growth. God bless!
