Psalm 90:4 "For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night."
The calendar year has not always started on
January 1. There was a time in Christian history when the calendar began
on March 25. Nevertheless, when we come to the end of one year and
begin the next, most people have a time of celebration and reflection.
At
a personal level, some will decide that the year just ending was better
than most; for others, it was a year they would rather forget. Then at a
global level, when we see and hear of unending wars and famines and new
diseases spreading worldwide, some will ask, "If there is a God, where
is He?" Others will turn the situation around and ask, "What kind of God
permits all this to happen?"
The real problem here is that the God of this
kind of thinking is far too small. This is the little man-made God who
set the universe going millions of years ago and then retired to let it
all evolve. No, according to Scripture, the real God is the Creator and
Sustainer of the Universe and everything on this Earth. He is totally in
charge of every detail of history. No war or pestilence happens without
His permission. But He is also the God Who loves every one of us, and
these are often the methods He uses to urge His people to draw closer to
Him.
Well friends, today's the last day of Creation Moment month. I hope you all truly enjoyed it. I know I did!
Have a blessed day!

We do have a God who is real and alive! He watches over us, and He cares for us.
