Creation is undoubtedly captivating! But do you see God in it and appreciate His mercy, wisdom, love and grace it reveals to you? Remember, He expects you, as a responsible steward, to protect, care for (Genesis 2:15) and not neglect or abuse His work.
Creation is a wonderful gift that helps you to connect with God. How often do you intentionally go out to breathe in God’s goodness or take a prayer walk to drink in and embrace His glory expressed in nature? When was the last time you watched flowers bloom or stood still to marvel at the sunrise and/or sunset? Making time to enjoy the beauty of His creation helps you develop and experience a deep connection with Him.
Connect using your knowledge of the Scriptures: lift up your eyes to the hills, listen attentively for His voice in the cool of the day, meditate, appreciate Him as He leads you beside the still waters, go up to the mountains or retire to the wilderness to pray.
Amid hurt and pain, the hustle and bustle of life, find a glimpse of joy and appreciate His qualities displayed in creation. Rejoice and thank the Father of Creation for creating you with the ability to commune with Him in such a special way.
Where/how do you encounter God through His creation?
Indeed nature and God’s creation provides the perfect template to view the wonders of God and His creative ability. Everytime we view nature we are filled with awe at God’s awesome power.
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
The heavens, indeed, deckare The Glory of God. And all that He has done is beautiful.
Stress , pain, “answered prayers, and everyday life’s questions have the tendency to blind us from the most important thing: worship Him, even though His Creation, including Nature.
May He help us to trust Him, even as we await His coming back, and His blessings in the mean time 🙏.
Help us enjoy the little thinga, Lord, so we pray!
Amen🙏
Our Heavenly Father is awesome. His love and mercies triumph forever. Even in our depressed states, He does not give up on us whereas some love ones and ourselves give up on ourselves. His name be praised and glorified forever.
God also expects man to interact with His creation for our own practical good. Farming, fishing, mining and constructing accommodation for living and other useful functions are highly essential to our existence on earth. Thanks be to God for creating us after His likeness. Man’s crativity and ingenuity is a direct reflection of his Maker’s glory.
I have experienced God through his creation especially when I am depressed, I love talking a walk during a cool day just to experience the cool breeze while meditating on the word of God.
A gentle breeze on a hot summer day reminds me of God’s caring love. The ever changing tapestry of the skies on a cold, wet winter morning reminds me of a Creator who is watching over us. What marvellous wonders and beauty God shares with us through nature!
Loved this!
