Okay, last night (Friday) after all the storms went thru, Me and a good friend took our boys camping. The weather cleared and it looked promising for a little while then it turned cold and the wind blew about 35 miles an hour all night and all day today. It was one of the most miserable camping experiences in my life. We got up and ate a pop-tart, went for a hike which was good and it got us warmed up. Then we went back to the campsite, loaded everything up and went to Cathedral Caverns. If you have never been there it is absolutely a must see. It is a drive but it is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. And its pretty much unheard of.
As we were walking through the lady said that the cave was about 13 billion years old or something like that. I was thinking about how intricate things there was made, one drop at a time and I thought how amazing! These rocks are being formed one drop at a time! With it being Easter weekend and we celebrate the risen saviour, I think that all our sins were forgiven one drop at a time. Every bad word, every lustful thought, every selfish act, every time I am disobedient, ALL of that was washed away by my Saviour's blood. What a heavy price was paid for ME! And YOU!! I wonder how many sins were covered in just one drop, maybe for a murderer, maybe a thief, maybe for an atheist who doesn't believe there is a God, maybe there was one drop......... just for me. I am humbled at the thought.
When I think of how long it takes for one of those rocks to get an inch high, 100's of years, it makes me think of how intricately God formed it. And then I think about what King David said in Psalms 139, "13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful,
I know that full well. 15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, ". I want to encourage you, PLEASE read the whole chapter of Psalms 139. Its only 24 verses but it will make you think about one thing, you are no accident, you weren't planned by your parents, but by GOD HIMSELF!! And much like those rocks in that cave that is so intracately fashioned and beautiful,
so are you. Read it!!!!!!!!!!!!
