“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge." -Psalm 19:1-2
If we look around, we see evidence that God wants us to be joyful. God's creation is proof that God loves us more than we can ever know. The world that we live in is beautiful.
Our appreciation of creation grows as we get older. When we are younger, we take everything for granted. Nature was not majestic and glorious. The sun comes up in the morning and went in the evening. But now we know that God makes the sun rise up each day.
When I walk out of our house, I see green grass and trees, and colorful flowers. Butterflies and singing birds. Sunshine, blue sky, falling rain. Playful cats and friendly dogs. Why I haven't noticed these before? Now I see them as God's wondrous gifts.
If we look at creation and meditate on its goodness, we will discover ourselves crying out, “You love me, don’t you, God?”-J.B. Smith
Lord, when I consider creation, I better understand the love you have for me. Amen.
