Seasons of Our Lives

     Even as we have deepened our realization that our God is a God of order and detail in His plan for the seasons and days of our lives, we witness His creativity and unfathomable design. His miraculous and marvelous ways are beyond our human imaginings.

God’s voice thunders in marvelous ways. He does great things beyond our understanding. Job 37:5

For You are great and do marvelous deeds. You alone are God. Psalm 86:10

     The colors of each tree, the numerous designs, fragrances and the varied height of each flower, the fruits and the vegetables that grow above and below the ground, the zebra, the giraffe, the koala bear, the panda. The swan and the eagle, the pelican and the duck, the lizard and the armadillo. The list could go on page after page after page. Think deeper. The stripe of the zebra and the tiger. The mane of the lion, the minute design of the ant to the magnitude of the elephant and rhinoceros, the mountaintop view, the expanse of the ocean. Stop and picture more of creation right now.

     Can you possibly imagine all of the above  with no Creator? Impossible! Everything has an intricate and impossibly imaginative and intricate design. None of this happened by chance. As we take in all that He has given us on earth and the heavenly home He promises us in the future, we can sink to our knees in grateful praise.

     God is good, all the time. His purposes will stand.

I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times what is still to come. I say, “My purpose will stand and I will do all that I please.” Isaiah 46:10

     God’s purpose will remain. Enjoy His creation. Thank Him for the sunrise and the sunset. Praise Him for the birds and the color of the sky, for the heart beating within, for the beauty of our children and the gifts He gives.

Jesus,

We praise You for all we take for granted each day, for the gracious gift of life, for the earth and the seasons, for our days and nights. Thank You, Lord.

Amen
