Daily Scripture: Psalm 99
Ultimate Air Space
-------------------
The Lord reigns,
let the nations tremble;
he sits enthroned above the angels,
let the earth shake.
Great is the Lord in Zion;
he is lifted up high over all the nations.
Let them praise your great and awesome name—
he is holy.
-------------------
God's power is high above the nations!
International law agrees that nations have a right to control their own air space--but they disagree about how far up that air space goes.
The boundary between atmosphere and outer space is around 60 miles high--and so far, no one claims sovereign rights above that height.
Only God controls what goes on above the atmosphere. God has ultimate air superiority.
When you look at the earth from outer space, that thin blue line is our atmosphere. That is the tiny slice of existence where we think we are in control. Beyond that is the vast infinity of the cosmos, where even egotistical rulers must concede we have no control.
In other words, God is in charge of 99.999999999999999% of the universe, and we're in control of everything else.
Hmm... 2020 seems to show us that we're not doing so well at controlling our part of the universe. Maybe it's time to trust God to manage that thin slice as well.
-----------------
Come, every soul by sin oppressed
There's mercy with the Lord
And He will surely give you rest
By trusting in His Word
Only trust Him, only trust Him
Only trust Him now
He will save you, He will save you
He will save you now
