From Gary... Known and unknown


This bird is NOT flying; so what is it doing? Could it be just a trick- you know, someone just placed it there? I don't think so, because if you look at the grey horizontal beam, you will see its shadow. Well then, how is it "floating"?  Good question... and it reminds me of a "floating" event in the Old Testament...  

2 Kings, Chapter 6 (WEB)

 1 The sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “See now, the place where we dwell before you is too small for us. 2 Please let us go to the Jordan, and every man take a beam from there, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell.” 

He answered, “Go!” 

  3  One said, “Please be pleased to go with your servants.” 

He answered, “I will go.”  4 So he went with them. When they came to the Jordan, they cut down wood.  5 But as one was felling a beam, the ax head fell into the water. Then he cried, and said, “Alas, my master! For it was borrowed.” 

  6  The man of God asked, “Where did it fall?” He showed him the place. He cut down a stick, threw it in there, and made the iron float.  7 He said, “Take it.” So he put out his hand and took it. 


I don't have a clue how Elisha did this (except, of course, by the power of God), but the source of the picture said the bird was jumping and obviously the "levitation" was a mid-jump picture.

The point here is this: some things we know and some things we don't know- so what; life is full of experiences that enrich our lives, whether we understand them fully or not.  I can no more explain a miracle than I can become 20 years old again. But, I can learn to trust God and what HE has told me in HIS WORD, the BIBLE.

Remember...

Deuteronomy, Chapter 29 (WEB)
  29  The secret things belong to Yahweh our God; but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.
