God is the one who made the mountains and created the winds. He makes his thoughts known to people; he changes day into night. He walks on the heights on the earth. This is his name: the LORD God Almighty!

In verses 6–12, of what does God remind the people? In what ways do these verses point to an inability to learn from the past?

Pray

Lord God, open my heart and my mind to your teachings. Remind me of your mighty deeds, make your thoughts known to me, and help me to obey your commands. You are the LORD God Almighty, and holy is your name. Amen.

Tomorrow’s Reading
