Earth

There is only One name above every name. There is only One to whom we all bow.

“He is the Maker of heaven, and earth, the sea and everything in them.” He “remains faithful forever.” Blessed is the one whose confidence is in Him.

This life is short. The believer, regardless of earthly suffering, will spend eternity in heaven. The wicked, regardless of earthly “prosperity,” will spend eternity in hell.

God has placed you right where you are for such a time as this. God wants to use you to accomplish His work!

While we will never live sinless lives on this earth, it is possible, by the strength of the Spirit, to sin less and obey more. That’s the high standard to which God has called his children. And that should be the desire of his children.

God never backs down. He dealt with the issue by supernaturally confusing their language. Picture the scene. One minute the parents were bragging about their super-gifted children, and the next minute it all sounded like babbling. Then God gave the rebellious innovators exactly what they didn’t want. He “scattered them over the face of the whole earth.”

We live in the middle of “wickedness on earth” as well. People all around us are following the evil inclinations of their hearts and ignoring God. But here’s the question: Is there a contrast between us and the people of our time?

God was with John as he grew and “became strong in spirit.”

Mary’s great song of praise continued as she proclaimed the “mighty deeds” of God. God’s arm is a symbol of His power and action. His strength is not limited to the heavens. His might is seen as He reaches down and does His work among people on earth.
