Nine Million! That number is simply astounding, and yet is
the number Apple reported it sold of its new iPhone in the first three days, and
the experts who have used it report is far surpasses the last number.
The entire process is simply amazing,
at least to me, and people waited in line long hours – some were even robbed
while waiting in line – a real slap in the face.
We live in a frightening world, don’t we? And unsettling things happen much too regularly and easily, and we wonder “Is
the Lord really aware of all this?”
A correspondent reminded me of
Hezekiah when the Assyrian king threatened Jerusalem. Hezekiah took the matter
to His God, and God told him that the Assyrian would never enter the city, and he would be
killed by his own sons while at worship in his temple. Just so it all happened.
God was there, even when the outlook was desperate. (11 Kings 17 & 8).
Our circumstances may change, but our
God gives this promise, “I am the Lord, I do not change”. Malachi 3,6. And
because He remains the same, we can always rely on Him in the shifting events
of life. “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
Psalm 46,1.
“A Mighty Fortress is our God,
A trusty shield and
weapon”.
