Outside the Box
Be thankful for all the many ways God has divinely intervened in your life.
Proverbs 16:33
The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord.
During World War II, Germany had the largest fleet of underwater submarines in the world. In order to combat this arsenal, the British military teamed with the U.S. on Project Habakkuk to design an aircraft carrier capable of withstanding the frigid temperatures of the Mid-Atlantic, where the German U-boats were known to roam.
The scientists came up with a stealth vessel over 2,000 feet long that could carry a fleet of fighter planes and bombers and had a hull over 40 feet thick, capable of withstanding torpedo blasts. The project was approved, but the war ended before a prototype could be created. It turns out that it takes a lot longer than expected to build a 20-million-ton ship made out of ice.
In Isaiah, we read that “The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.” (40:8)
A ship made out of ice will eventually melt; grass will eventually wither; and flowers will eventually fade. But we worship a God who is eternal. He was before, He is now, and He always will be.
And the really incredible thing is that we have the opportunity to commune with Him, to talk to Him, and to worship Him. Let that sink in this morning and think about what an incredible gift that is.
