Good morning and welcome to the February 10th Musing.

“It is amazing to think that this rain is the same water that flooded the earth.”

Speaking of water…

A friend dug a hole in the garden and filled it with water.

I think he meant well.

What did one ocean say to another?

Nothing, it just waved.

What keeps a dock floating above water?

Pier pressure.

This water hitting the car, H2O as old (and older) than Noah.   It is something my son and I had discussed before.   And we considered again while sitting in our Chevy HHR eating Triple Chocolate Concrete Yogurt, watching the rain run down the windshield.    

The earth…a contained unit.   Yes, not a drop of water has ever disappeared from this orb.     The hydrologic cycle keeping a continuous circulation of water going in our Earth-Atmosphere system. 

The saints of old understood this.   Speaking of God’s design of the water system, the Psalmist said…

He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth;
Psalm 135:7 (NASB95)

He waters the mountains from His upper chambers;
Psalm 104:13 (NASB95)

And Solomon added…

All the rivers flow into the sea,
Yet the sea is not full.
To the place where the rivers flow,
There they flow again.
Ecclesiastes 1:7 (NASB95)

It is staggering to consider how many times those raindrops dancing on the hood had been to the sea, evaporated back up to the clouds, only to be deposited again on the land’s expanse.    Indeed the sea is not full.    It continues to give up its water to the billowing masses to start the cycle again.

“Yes son, it is amazing!”
