Dear God,
To You, I reiterate my praise of Your mighty works and loving forbearance with we very wayward people of earth. It is recorded in scripture, how quickly man under the influence of Satan and his angels became absolutely wicked. It has been a history characterized by periods of reforming return to God and then times of general depravity, down through most centuries until the current century. Many times people who purported to be a follower of God/and Jesus, did unspeakable unloving things to others, and received a rebuke from God.
Through the prophet Jeremiah You spoke firmly to the lying and deceitful prophets, kings and priests and other worshipers. Jeremiah 5:22 “Do you not fear Me?” ‘Says the Lord,’ “Will you not tremble at My presence, Who have placed the sand as the bound of the sea, by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass beyond it? And though the waves toss to and fro, yet they cannot prevail; though they roar, yet they cannot pass over it.”
Forgive us Lord for bringing You down to our own level of thinking. Satan has skillfully orchestrated science to deny Your hand in Creation; even Your very existence. You say of Yourself, I have absolute power to create and destroy, as evidenced by many natural wonders in nature. These created things, such as animals, tiny organisms, and cells, etc. man cannot emulate, for he needs the already created elements to play around with, combine and grow in petre dishes to name a few.
For the person who does not accept there is a God or that He has done many powerful things and miracles of life and preservation, there is no reverence or acceptance of Him and His works. Jeremiah 3:22 “Return, you backsliding children, and I will heal your backsliding s.” Part a Perhaps the greatest work and miracle that gives us further belief in the all-powerful God on an ongoing basis, is the change that is wrought in the mind and life of a person in enslavement (say to alcohol or recreational drugs) with unstable temper and life lived. Jeremiah 3:22 “Indeed we do come to You, for You are the Lord our God.” part b After prayerfully accepting Jesus, and being delivered, they are absolutely changed in every area of their body and life. Previously they could not have, even with the greatest desire, effect this total change in themselves, by themselves. Despite having usually tried often and hard to break free from their addictions etc.
I imagine with such an experience in the person being delivered by God, for them, it cannot be argued away by science. Though I have never drunk strong drink, I have had miraculous answers to prayer and need. Humbly and reverently I bow before You my God, in thanks and praise.
Amen
