Passion for Praise: 'With His Own Understanding'

Monday, September 17, 2007

God made the earth by his power, and he preserves it by his wisdom. With his own understanding he stretched out the heavens. When he speaks in the thunder, the heavens roar with rain. He causes the clouds to rise over the earth. He sends the lightning with the rain and releases the wind from his storehouses.
— Jeremiah 10:12-13
