Tectonic Shift

So, I watch the history channel, a lot. There, I said it. I am a nerd. But, being a nerd can come in handy.
A couple of days ago I was watching 'How the world was made'. This particular episode was exploring the Marianas trench and the Western Pacific Ridge. It discussed how the ridge was expanding at the rate of about 3 inches per year and that the trench essential 'ate' that same amount of the earths crust during that time. So, instead of the earth constantly expanding and the entire balance of nature being upset. There is homeostasis.
Why should we care?
Well, I was struck with the great care that God took in designing the earth. How that everything was considered and every detail was accounted for. It is the same for us. There is nothing that God has not considered and nothing left unaccounted. He will accomplish what He intends in us. Our part is simply to trust Him.

He can be trusted.
