Life Under The Sun

And I know that whatever God does is final. Nothing can be added to it or taken from it. God’s purpose is that people should honor Him.

Ecclesiastes 3:14 

 

This is a verse that I have read many times before but never stopped to think about it until this morning.  Several years ago, my Bride and I took a dolphin tour in Charleston. The trip itself was pretty amazing, I had never had dolphins swim close enough to be touched.  Later on we were standing on the Public Pier looking over the edge when a mother dolphin swam by right in front of us with her calf.  What an amazing sight!  

 

That adventure aside, something the tour guide said stuck in my mind, he said "Thank God for the tides, because without them we'd be in trouble because the nutrients that enter the water with the tides would stop and life in the sea would cease to exist." This morning, as I was reading Ecclesiastes 3:14, that tour guide's comment became clear.

 

Everything that God does (and will do) is final!  We cannot add to it or take away from it.  Therefore, God's purpose is that we should honor Him.  Now, can you imagine what it takes to keep everything going in the universe?  Yet God does that just for you every moment of every day!  Pretty humbling to be loved so much!
