At the end of the day, literally all around the world, the sun sets. It dips behind hills, over water, and beyond the horizon. After the light fades away, we hold the belief that it will rise the following morning. This belief stems from the experiences of previous day and the many before that. For the most part, we don’t even think about this process.
In fact, there are thousands of processes we don’t give a second thought to. Why is that? Since so many things happen “automatically” we tend to take them for granted. Hopefully, we don’t take too much for granted, as we believers know that things don’t just happen by chance. They are planned, calculated, and controlled. We know there is One overseeing all things.
All things are possible, not by our own doing, but by the hand of God. You can read about this very topic in each of the gospels. Let’s hear what Mark recorded:
Mark 10:27
“Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.”
The context of this verse is based on the discussion of what it takes to enter the kingdom of heaven. However, this verse also applies to any situation, any scenario – all things are possible with God! What a great reminder – it has nothing to do with us and everything to do with our Father.
The sun sets, and the sun rises, without us even thinking about it. Take a moment to consider all the other things that happen throughout the day – I believe you will find the list is endless. The list is endless and so is the love of our Creator. What an awesome and powerful God we serve.
This particular beautiful sunset was seen from the island of Denarau, Fiji.
