Birds of a feather flock together.
I thought I'd post Woodland Song as I am noticing the woods are getting quieter.
The birds are done with their noisy chitter-chatter, calling woo's and spring-time songs. But the cicada bugs have taken over, as well as a few early crickets and these returning sounds are welcomed too.
God is faithful, like the nature he created, whether it be springtime or late summer!
I wondered how to tie in the poem to today's word about prayer.
Isn't it true that birds of a feather flock together?
There is strength in numbers.
Here are two interesting verses in Genesis:
Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great
and their sin so grievous that I will go down and see if what they have done is
as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."
Genesis 18:20-21
People told God how upset they were with sin. And he listened.
Can we do that today? Sure can.
Now, does this mean some people have no sin? No, anyone knows that we're all sinners.
(Well, actually, I guess there are some people that think they have no sin. But the Bible says these people have deceived themselves.) And did God really need to hear people say there was sin and wicked deeds happening? Did he need to be informed?
No, he sees everything including everyone's heart...the good, the bad and the ugly.
Nothing escapes God.
He knows who is upset with atrocities, injustices, wrongs, things obviously against scripture.
He knows who thirsts for righteousness and who could care less.
Here are the words of Jesus, the Son of God:
"For where two or three come together in my name,
there am I with them."
Matthew 18:20
We're talking strength in numbers!
Yes, one can pray alone in the closet, like is also explained in the Bible and is very good.
But I also think God honors those who pray together. Like birds of a feather,
a group of faithful believers can bring their petitions before the LORD.
Then those who feared the LORD talked with each other,
and the LORD listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written
in his presence concerning those who feared the LORD and honored his name.
Malachi 3:16
It's cool to have friends.
And it's way cool that God listens to them and hears their faith.
CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE MEN WHO CAUSED IT! --BY STEVE FINNELL
ReplyDeleteDo men have the ability to effect climate change on the planet earth? Are heat waves, cooling temperatures, earth quakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, droughts, gale-force winds, and snow storms the result of man's mismanagement of the planet?
Is it not naive and arrogant to assume that puny man can effect climate change? Man-made climate change is a grand hoax, at best.
HAVE MEN BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR CHANGES IN WEATHER PATTERNS? YES, HOWEVER, THEY HAVE HAD NO POWER TO EFFECT THE CHANGES THAT OCCURRED.
Genesis 6:13 Then God said to Noah, "The end of all flesh has come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence because of them; and behold, I am about to destroy them with the earth.
Were men responsible for the change in the weather pattern? Yes. Did men effect the change of the weather? No, God caused it to rain for 40 days and 40 nights, not men.
Genesis 18:20 And the Lord said, :The outcry of Sodom and Gomorrah is indeed great, and their sin is exceedingly grave.
Genesis 19:24 Then the Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven,
Were men responsible for the weather change in Sodom and Gomorrah? Yes. Did men cause the weather to change? No, God effected the change in the climate.
1 Kings 8:35 "When the heavens are shut up and there is no rain; because they have sinned against You....
Men are sometimes responsible for droughts, however, God effects the weather changes.
Matthew 27: 51,54 And behold , the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth shook and the rocks were split. 54 Now the centurion, and those who were with him keeping guard over Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were happening, became very frightened and said, "Truly this was the Son of God!"
Notice, the centurion did not attribute the earth quake to man-made climate change.
2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.
Men are responsible for the global warming that is coming.
No amount of green initiatives will stop the final global warming. Puny men will have no effect on the final climate change.
THE MAN-MADE CLIMATE CHANGE HOAX WAS INVENT BY 1.DISHONEST MEN 2.NAIVE MEN 3.ARROGANT MEN 4.OR ALL OF THE ABOVE.
GOD IS IN CONTROL OF THE WEATHER.
