When I Say Duck

Ken

Do you drop your head to avoid being hit by a foul ball at a baseball park, or do you quickly look around to see a feathery bird swimming on the lake? How you interpret my words depends on your circumstances. How do we respond to the Almighty? Do we take Him at His word? Literal or figurative interpretation depends on context; but, shouldn’t we allow God the same benefit we give to anyone else of taking His words literally until shown otherwise? “And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left” (Isaiah 30:21 KJV). Genesis is a miracle, but it has literal days and poetic language. Interpret it as literal as you can until you can’t, but trust God’s account of His miraculous work. LORD, You are our Creator. May we magnify You for Your wonderful work. Cause us not to limit Your glory in our attempt to understand Your creation. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
