TCRA

I am starting to write this at 12:36pm eastern time, I am tired but I am wide awake. I am here in Florida and let me tell you there is no where else I have been that allowed me to feel Gods glory like here. I have never seen as much wild life, plant life, and water as I have here. This is the main reason I love coming here on vacation, it is just pure beauty. I spent yesterday at the beach with my wife and her aunt, while they were looking for sharks teeth I just stared out across the ocean. Growing up in the suburbs of Chicago the closest I ever came to the ocean was Lake Michigan. There were two things I noticed about the ocean right away, first being how blue it was. It looked like something I had only seen in the movies, and I had never thought would be real. The second thing I noticed was the dark spots a little ways out. These dark spots were drop offs, something I never really actually thought about until now.

I began to think about how deep the ocean must be (the deepest being 35,840 feet), and then I thought about the amount of creatures that must be down there. There are so many species of fish and other life down there that 99.9% of human kind has never seen, yet God still created them. God has created so much more than we see in our lives, and each one of them is cared for. I guess this just really reminded me of Mathew 6:25-34

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

“And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

God does have his hand in everything, even the fish at the very bottom of the ocean. If He created these things we will never see, and they are taken care of, how much more will he care for us?

Anyway, that’s enough rambling for tonight. Goodnight.
