Continual Amazement

Psalms 6-8

I remain continually amazed at the ways God works in everything... yet some remain blind. In yesterday's blog I asked the question "Does God Judge the Nations?" based on an Isaiah reading and right there in the middle of today's reading is the answer; "The Lord judges the nations" (Paslm 7:8). While browsing news of Haiti, a couple of things struck me beyond the sadness of the devastation in Haiti...

• Comments written against a Boston Globe picture article contained a large number of people lifting up prayers for the people in Haiti... and a similar number chiding prayer as ineffective and those who pray as fools.
• Posts by Samaritans Purse about their involvement in Haiti were commented upon with disdain by some who thought they were self-serving.

While current estimates range as high as a half million physical deaths in Haiti, perhaps even sadder is that millions more throughout this country are spiritually dead... they are lost and do not know it...or will not acknowledge it. Sadly they do not know of the majesty, glory, and grace of the one to whom Psalm 8 was written... the one whose majesty fills the earth... the one who made us a little lower than angels... the one who gave us dominion over all living things... O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!
