The Rhythm of Life

Have you ever watched a fountain spew high up in the air, and then watch as a flock of white birds in a pattern of a long-extended V, swoop through the water and up and down over the water until they finally land loudly down on the surface of the water to dive for their supper? As I watched this flow of forced fountain water, it streamed up and up and then cascaded down arching as if to return from whence it came. What makes nature flow with this rhythem of life? The One who spoke it into existence, of course. God, whose very presence we forget to acknowledge as we draw each breath, as we open our eyelids once again each morning, as we move and live and have our being as the writers of His Word wrote. It is HE, the Great I Am that I am am. If you watched the movie, "Ten Commandments" with Charlton Heston as the great Moses, and never ever heard of the rest of the Bible or its stories, you know that in the scene of the bush that burned, but was never consumed, God showed how powerful He was because in that one scene alone He altered the flow of nature. Later, as the movie progresses to the crescendo of the most magnificient portion imaginable, as Moses begs God to stretch forth His mighty hand to intervene for the children of Israel, God again interrupts the rhythm of the natural flow of this planet and all of its rules - the Sea left its borders, lefts it boundaries and became dry land and yet STILL FLOWED as Moses and the Israelites walked THROUGH the columns of water on either side of them, on the dry seabed. Only God can do that and He can do it for you, if you ask Him, if you trust Him. Seek Him while He is near, seek Him while He can be found, for He alone is the truth, He alone makes the tap-tap-tap of my life and your life in sinc, in rhythm, to THE rhythm of life.
