"When the earth and all its people quake, it is I who hold the pillars firm" (verse 3). That is a great line. In the face of chaos, natural disasters, riots, crime and everything else, God is the one holding us up. Certainly we can be glad that we aren't in charge. After all, check out the top headlines today from the BBC's website:
"Fuel supply to Paris airports cut" because of pension protests and the fear of running out of fuel for the city.
"DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo) troops 'in rapes and murder'"
"Troops tell of Fort Hood shootings"
"Israel unveils settlement plans"
"Father jailed for drowning sons"
The list goes on, trust me. And what's worse is that this doesn't even begin to tap into the stories too gruesome to put into words. Clearly, human beings left to our own devices will not hold up the pillars of the earth. However, today I can be grateful that God does hold up the pillars of the universe and of my own life. Thank you, God, for that gift.
