Psalm 8:1-9
Key Verses: 8:3
“When I look up at
your skies, at what your fingers made—the moon and the stars that you set
firmly in place—”
All that God has
made is good and beautiful. When we look at the natural world around us, we can
see reflections of the glory of God. We see glimpses of the beauty of God in
the stars and the flowers, the power of God in the Sun and the storm, we can
see the gentleness of God in a summer breeze and a bumble bee’s wings. God’s
creation is truly amazing and wonderful. We are continually surrounded by creation.
We see it every day. And because it is always with us always surrounding us we
forget that every inch of it shows us shadows of who God is and reveal to us
truths about God’s character. Every bird, every flower, all of it is evidence
of the magnificence of God. As you move through your day today pay attention;
listen to the bird sing, pay attention to the delicate nature of a flower, look
to the sky and ponder the infinite beauty that is always above our heads. God
is good. God is beautiful. God is amazing. We can see God’s glory and God’s
character in all of creation, if only we take the time to pay attention.
Thing to Think on
How often do you pay attention to God’s
creation which surrounds you?
When you stop and pay attention what do you
see? What do you hear?
What is God revealing to you today in and
through creation?
A Prayer for Today
“For the beauty of
the earth. . .” Lord, your world is beautiful. All you have created is amazing
and good. Thank you for revealing yourself in so many ways. Thank you for
showing me your glory in the stars, your beauty in a flower, and your
gentleness in a soft breeze. Help me to see fingerprints of the creator in all
creation and to give you praise for all the ways you continually show me who
you are through the world around me. You are amazing and good and full of glory.
I see this in all you have done and all you have created. Thank you. - Amen
