Godly Humor?
Read:
James 1:16-18
If
I didn't know better, this Fall could make me question the
omnipotence of God! A heavy snowfall before the leaves are off the
trees! And after the snow melted – many of the trees still held
their leaves.
I
understand some leaves seem to hang on all winter (after all there is
always that 10% that doesn't get the word, a la John Paul Jones), but
the way things have gone, and the way people reacted to it – this
should affirm that God has a Sense of Humor.

Invisible Support
Read: Colossians 1:15-17
Today as I sat looking out the
window – suddenly I noticed a bright red cardinal sitting
unsupported – in mid-air! Surrounded by falling and blowing snow,
it sat there, was able to turn to face the wind, and then turn back
again.
Silhouetted against a
background of brown tree trunks and limbs there was no way to discern
exactly what was holding up the cardinal. It was inspiring to see
this bright spot of red against such a drab background. It turned out
(of course) that it was sitting on a wire. While we know there was
this physical means of support for the cardinal, it reminded me that
each of us has an invisible means of support – it's called God!
