The gods of Greece

As I walked along the edge of the Aegean Sea today, carefully choosing each step over the massive rocks of the Greek shore, I had a thought. The waves were crashing over the rocks in what can only be descirbed as majestic rhythm and it occurs to me, it is no wonder that the Greeks and so many other ancient societies had separate deities for every aspect of creation. The sea is so amazing and gorgeous and the sunrises and sunsets are so artfully designed, how could one god create and control such awesome and wonderful powers.

I was amazed by this thought. I realized that, having never been so fully exposed to the variety and wonder of God's creation, I had never even considered how incredible it is that YHWH controls it all!

Today, Elohim amazed me with His creation and control of it, with His eternal interaction with we, who are never in control. God is amazing and loving and so good.
