My twelve-year-old Isaac and I took a short trip this morning and had about 30 minutes in the car together to talk. We discussed all sorts of things, but during the course of that half-hour conversation, he mentioned he was considering a career in engineering, because he was interested in building a jet-powered propulsion suit <\/strong>— “the kind Iron Man wears.”<\/p>\n

I smiled and nodded my head, considering the feasibility, before Isaac quickly continued, “I know you probably don’t believe I can, but I think it might really be possible.”<\/p>\n

“Are you kidding?” I reassured him. “I was just thinking how cool it would be to fly around in one of those things<\/strong> and wondering how you might get it to work. You must have forgotten who you were talking to. This is Mom, here. When I was your age, I dreamed about going to the moon.”<\/p>\n

(Space travel is still on my Empty Nest List<\/a>, by the way.)<\/p>\n

I think it’s cool to dream big dreams<\/strong> and to stretch the limits of technology.<\/p>\n

But do you know what’s even cooler? The fact that we serve such an awesome God<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The winds and the waves obey Him. He doesn’t need a prehensile propulsion suit to get around.<\/strong> The resurrected Christ ascended into heaven without jet power. (Acts 1:9<\/a>) Someday He will return again “in the clouds with great power and glory” (Mark 13:26<\/a>), but He won’t be dressed as Iron Man when He comes.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, He rules from Heaven, watching over us and protecting us<\/strong>, interceding and intervening on our behalf.<\/p>\n

This week’s memory verse is 2 Samuel 22:10-11<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“He parted the heavens and came down; dark clouds were under his feet. He mounted the cherubim and flew; he soared on the wings of the wind.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It can be found in the fifth set<\/a> of our Scripture Memory Flashcards:<\/p>\n
