God spoke and created the heavens and the earth. There is no
way for the human mind to comprehend it. Imagine the stripe of the zebra, the pug
nose of the koala, the majestic lion, the fragile butterfly, the calls and
colors of a variety of birds, the colorful array of flowers from the 8-foot
sunflower to the delicate crocus, the scent of the rose, or the fragrance of
fresh mint or ginger. The creation surrounding us boggles the mind.
God spoke it into
being through His word. And the word is Jesus.
The word became flesh and made His dwelling among
us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son, sent from the
Father full of grace and truth. John 1:14
He breathed
life into the first man created from dust, the woman from his rib. Notice
creation around you today and take it in. Breathe it in. Appreciate all God
gave us to enjoy, from relationships to the morning sunrise and the evening
sunset, day after day, month after month, season after season; The earth is the
perfect distance from the sun rotating faithfully for our pleasure.
Looking for a
miracle? Get a little closer to creation. Hug a friend. Notice the bird’s song.
Soak it in. Take in a little vitamin D on your lunch break. Look up at the
stars. The list is endless. He made it for you and me. And it brought Him
pleasure.
God saw
all that He had made and it was very good. And there was morning and there was
evening-the sixth day. Genesis 1:31
How many
are Your works, Lord! In wisdom You made them all; the earth is full of Your
creatures. There is the sea, vast and spacious, teeming with creatures beyond
number- living things both large and small. Psalm 104:24-25
Lord,
We praise You for the creation around us. We thank You for our
food, for the seasons, for the glorious lights in the sky, for the animals
surrounding us with all of their wonder, for the birds and the flowers and for
the ability to love. Remind us to praise You in appreciation for all we have
around us each day. Most of all, thank You for Jesus.
Amen
