The Volcano eruptions in Chile show how majestic and overpowering is MOTHER NATURE and the God who created all nature. It does make our efforts and actions look somewhat small and powerless. I am as concerned as most about caring for creation for God told us to "Tend the Garden..." that He made. However, when I look at the pictures of these lighting flashes and the ash coming from this one volcano I realize that the power of nature to change nature by making it warm or cold is so much greater and widespread that our human actions look puny.
God inspired David to sing this hymn:
Psalms 8:1-9 For the Chief Musician; on an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by David.
Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth, Who has set your glory above the heavens! From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength, Because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.
When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, The moon and the stars, which you have ordained; What is man, that you think of him? The son of man, that you care for him?
For you have made him a little lower than God, And crowned him with glory and honor. You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet: All sheep and oxen, Yes, and the animals of the field, The birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, And whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
Yahweh, our Lord, How majestic is your name in all the earth!
