He's Got The Whole World In His Hands!


This is a picture of New York city taken from atop of the Empire State building by a friend of mine.  When I look at it I have one thought.  There is a lot of things going on in that picture. Even though it's just a picture of buildings.  There is a lot of action in this picture.  New York has a lot of people roaming that area. So that means a lot of thoughts are going on, decisions are being made, crime is on the loose, people are working, birds and insects and other animals are going about their business also.  Homeless people are searching for food to survive.  They are holding out cups to get a few handouts. Drug dealers are pushing their products to people and kids to make a dishonest dollar and hooking a new client.  Good decisions are also being made in this picture, somebody is probably accepting Christ at that very moment.  Many hopefully, have decided that they have had enough and said it was time to give it all to God.  There are people in this picture that have decided they can't take anymore and left their spouse or decided to leave this world by their own actions.
There is fear in some people from the day of 9/11 that wonder if a plane is going to strike their building.  There are people who are working and thinking about someone else other than their spouse and decide to take the action with the other person that they have been desiring for a long time.  I'm sure there are some bad and illegal business decisions going on in one of those buildings.  It being morning the prostitutes are resting from there long night of making money for sex.  The mafia also are still lurking in the picture somewhere getting ready to make some very illegal decisions to harm somebody in some way.  Cussing, there are a lot of people doing that in that picture especially on Wall Street. Yet, I'm sure somewhere in this picture somebody is praying, pleading to the Creator to help all these caught up in the world to take the step and repent. 
In one small picture of the largest city in the United States there is so much going on. An anthill in action in constant movement.  Probably doing more than what I have mentioned above.  Yet, one Being is in control of it all taking care of every thought, every person and every animal and plant and molecule on the Earth.  Seeing it all. Keeping it all in control and held together.  To me that is amazing! I stand in awe of our God!
