Miraculous Survival

 

After months under a thick layer of ice, 

my goldfish are alive and swimming happily.

How?

By wisdom and mercy.

By Wisdom.

They were created to do what they do

by a benevolent and thoughtful Creator,

Who does all things well, 

Whose ways are above our ways,

Whose thoughts are above our thoughts.

By Mercy.

When His creation was assaulted

He designed survival.

It is

miraculous

astonishing

sobering.

The LORD is good to all, and His mercies are over all His works. 

All Your works shall give thanks to You, O LORD,

         And Your godly ones shall bless You.

Psalm 145: 9,10
