A TRULY AWESOME GOD!

Today I was reading the Bible about King Hezikiah being at the point of death having asked the prophet Isaiah to plead with the LORD to extend his life. The LORD agreed to extend Hezekiah's life by fifteen more years; and as evidence offered to turn the shadow of the sundial back fifteen degrees (about half an hour)  and then did so. 

Now, if God had accomplished this by bringing the earth to a sudden stop, backing up its rotation on its axis by half an hour, stopping it yet again and speeding it up to normal again; the lawyers would still be trying to come up with some way of suing Him for whiplash and property damage.  

Now there are lots of Christians who think that God simply suspended the Laws of Physics to accomplish this (and this is not the only time in the Bible that God made time to stand still, advance or reverse; and surely He is capable of anything). 

However we believe that God simply took hold of the entire rest of the universe and moved it around the Earth until the sun had backed up half an hour's worth.  And He said it was a minor thing to Him. 

Our God is an awesome God, and worthy to be praised.
