Today is Wednesday, November 14th, 2012; Karen's Korner #2443
Last week for parts of six days, our area has had the pleasure of hosting Jacob & Jaynie Michael who are missionaries to Mozambique AFRICA, a country which is poorer yet than Haiti.
I asked Jaynie to share some of her thoughts with Karen's Korner readers. She has chosen to share the 'greatness of Our God' and some facts she finds fascinating:
This is Awesome! Praise the Lord!
How Great is our God!!!
Our Creator and Redeemer . . .
do we THINK about it ???

God's accuracy may be observed in the hatching of eggs.. . . . .
For example:
-the eggs of the potato bug hatch in 7 days;
-those of the canary in 14 days;
-those of the barnyard hen in 21 days;
-eggs of ducks and geese hatch in 28 days;
-those of the mallard in 35 days;
-The eggs of the parrot and the ostrich hatch in 42 days.
(Notice, they are all divisible by seven, the number of days in a week!)

God's wisdom is seen in the making of an elephant. The four legs of
this great beast all bend forward in the same direction. No other
quadruped is so made. God planned that this animal would have a huge body,
too large to live on two legs. For this reason He gave it four fulcrums so
that it can rise from the ground easily.
The horse rises from the ground on its two front legs first. A cow rises
from the ground with its two hind legs first. How wise the Lord is in all
His works of creation!

God's wisdom is revealed in His arrangement of sections and segments, as
well as in the number of grains.
-Each watermelon has an even number of stripes on the rind.
-Each orange has an even number of segments.
-Each ear of corn has an even number of rows.
-Each stalk of wheat has an even number of grains.
-Every bunch of bananas has on its lowest row an even number of bananas,
and each row decreases by one, so that one row has an even number and the
next row an odd number.
-The waves of the sea roll in on shore twenty-six to the minute in all
kinds of weather.
-All grains are found in even numbers on the stalks, and the Lord
specified thirty fold, sixty fold, and a hundred fold all even numbers.

God has caused the flowers to blossom at certain specified times
during the day. Linnaeus, the great botanist, once said that if he had
a conservatory containing the right kind of soil, moisture and
temperature, he could tell the time of day or night by the flowers that were
open and those that were closed!
*
The lives of each of you may be ordered by the Lord in a beautiful way
for His glory, if you will only entrust Him with your life. If you try to
regulate your own life, it will only be a mess and a failure. Only the One
Who made the brain and the heart can successfully guide them to a profitable
end.
*
I HOPE YOU FIND THIS AS FASCINATING AS I DID.
May God Bless You In Ways
You Never Even Dreamed.

It has been said of The Bible,
When you carry "the Bible",
Satan has a headache,
when you open it, he collapses,
when he sees you reading it, he loses his strength,
AND when you stand on the Word of God,
Satan cannot exercise His power to control you!
