Our Amazing God. Last week, during a drive through our province of New Brunswick, I was once again reminded of the greatness of our God. For many miles, it was so foggy that I could not see very far ahead of the car. Sometimes, this dense fog would have bothered me because of the danger it might create for me. However, I was not in a hurry, traffic was light, and so I was not concerned about the heavy fog.
So, as I was driving along, I was overcome with the thought that “only our Almighty God would have the ability to cover half of our province at the same time with a blanket of fog.”
While I was in this same train of thought, I remembered showing a National Geographic video in my classroom on Volcanos. I showed this particular film every year for about 5 or 6 years when that topic came up in Science class. After seeing it the first time, I always listened carefully as one of the two volcanologists from France made an amazing observation - about God! This married couple of scientists had spent many years following active volcanos all over the world - always in the most dangerous situations. I remember seeing them dressed in their special fir
e resistant suits because they were standing so close to the bubbling lava on the rim of an active volcano. Also, they had to wear specially made boots that would not burn through on the bottoms because the ground was almost on fire. But it so blessed me when the female volcanologist mentioned God in one of her comments - when the mountain trembled, she made mention that this must be God - how else could such a massive mountain tremble like that.
Just some musings. Doesn‘t hurt to be reminded of the greatness of our God. And, this great God loves us - isn’t that amazing?

Your posting has caused me to ponder Psalm 114
1When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
2Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.
3The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.
4The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.
5What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?
6Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?
7Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
8Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
The KING jAMES VERSION lends a special beauty to this psalm which in symbolic terms gives a vivid picture of the exodus of the children of Irael from Egyptian bondage. Somehow I think that your lady volcanologist had heard something about God.
