Thoughts for another day

Today's verse: Jer. 49:19b. for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me? (KJV)

(Pls. read the above before you read further. Thanks)

Today's Scripture establishes the Sovereignty of God in a manner that's irrefutable for God Himself declares the Word and He says, there is no other like Him. 

God who has made the heavens and the earth is alone Sovereign, Great and Awesome of fierce countenance and Omniscient.  His hand has stretched forth the vast canopy of the sky and on earth He has spread the abundance of green and water and the huge mountains that rise up as to touch His glory.   His creation of outer space spells the awesome breadth of His wisdom and creative power.  At His word, the waters in the sky splash forth on earth like an opened shower, even as the huge clouds pregnant with water lie above with not even an iota of the effect of gravity, but spew forth the rain, in a gentle cascade upon earth.  God's Word makes this possible and It has also made it possible for the soil on the earth to soak up the rain and give life to all.

God's blazing features make it impossible for us to see Him for He is a Consuming Fire and none can stand before Him.  Mortal men in contempt may say they don't believe Him but there're times when He shows forth His awesomeness to them and they're forced to acknowledge His Presence and Sovereignty, for they realise that before His Awesomeness, they stand in absolute worthlessness.   Even so, God asks, 'who is that shepherd that will stand before Me?'  He knows there is none but He wants us to know it; and the good thing in this is, if we acknowledge Him as our Shepherd, he will lead us to refreshing waters and up the paths of righteousness so we will always be with Him.
