God is strong; we are weak.

• Job 38:1-5, 22-30, 33-37
• Psalms 147:1, 7, 10, 15-19
• God says something and it happens! His word has tremendous power.
• God used His word to give us laws. The elements must obey, but we have a choice.

Count your (basic) blessings.

• I Kings 17:10-12 – This woman was pretty desperate at this point!
• Philippians 4:11-12
• II Corinthians 11:23-27
• I Timothy 6:8 – Are we content with food and clothing?

It’s wise to be prepared.

• Matthew 25:1-13
