Mother Nature

Everybody talks about the weather.  It seems to be the Hot Topic, Idle Chit-Chat, the Opening-Line for a conversation.

We turn on The Weather Channel or our Local News, to hear about our forecast for tomorrow, or for the rest of the week, and you hear one Title:  Mother Nature.

According to Wikipedia, "Mother Nature" most likely stems from Greek Mythology.  "Natura" and the personification of Mother Nature were popular in the Middle Ages-as a concept, seated between the properly Divine and the human.

She was personified as a goddess.

Honestly, I don't understand how a person can refer to something or someone, who does not exist?

To me, this is just one more subtle distraction that Satan uses to deflect praise from our True Creator:  God.

Jeremiah 51:15-16 says-He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heaven by his understanding.  When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens; and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth: he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.

Genesis 1 speaks of our Creator and everything He created.  And it was good!

Colossians 1:16-17 says- For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:  And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

Our Creator God can calm the winds of the air, and the waves of the sea by a spoken word.  He brings the rain on the just and on the unjust, and He alone is our Sun.

The Marshall Family use to sing a song called, "I know it was God."  Part of the chorus says, 'There's no such thing as Mother Nature, I know it was God!"

I love that!

The next time someone mentions Mother Nature to me in a conversation, I will point them to the One True God, and give Him the praise only He deserves...

    But that's just me!
