O Lord My God, You Are Very Great

He set the earth on its foundations so that it should never be moved. You covered it with the deep as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains.   At your rebuke they fled; at the sound of your thunder, they took to flight.  The mountains rose, the valleys sank down to the place that you appointed for them.  You set a boundary that they may not pass so that they might not again cover the earth. You make springs gush forth in the valleys; they flow between the hills, they give drink to every beast of the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst.  Beside them the birds of the heavens dwell; they sing among the branches.  From your lofty abode, you water the mountains; the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your work. You cause the grass to grow for the livestock and plants for man to cultivate, that he may bring forth food from the earth and wine to gladden the heart of man, oil to make his face shine, and bread to strengthen man's heart.

 

Let us talk about climate change, and the introduction has this to say; “O Lord My God, You Are Very Great."  I believe in global warming and climate change, but I have a big problem.  What act of man can set the earth on its foundations, or allow the waters to cover the mountains?  What act of mankind can say to the waters be removed, and they recede below the mountains and set boundaries for the water so it can not cover the earth?  All of this and the planting of trees and grass to grow for the livestock, and God even desire for man to work, and cultivate, so that there would be food and wine to drink.  

 

The following is not Fake News, Global Warming and climate Change are a Fool's Religion.  It is based on Man being god, but as stated above man is not in charge, God who Created the Heavens & the Earth is.  May I make a suggestion? Read the amazing book of John.  Let us begin in the first chapter and begin with verse one, and if you finish the first chapter you will see the Word was Jesus.  John 1:1-5,  In the beginning, was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  He was in the beginning with God.  All things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made.  In him was life, and the life was the light of men.  The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.  Verses 6-8 inform us of a witness that came before Christ and 9-13, give this insight, “The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.  He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him.  He came to his own^] and his own people^] did not receive him.  But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God,  who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.  In verses 29-34, God uses John the Baptist to introduce us to the Messiah, God’s only Son, Jesus Christ.
