"Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. For the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods. In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him. The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land," (Psalm 95:1-5 NIV).
Nature has always spoken to me of my God. I love to sit in His presence and soak in the stillness of being with Him. The beauty of His creation speaks to me of His power, His artistic ability, His wondrous works. Each person He has created holds beautiful potential, given by God. Even the sheep running through the cornstalks are His. What a wonderful world we have been given to live in and care for.
Traveling the United States provides so much incentive to give praise. We have observed the beauty of Utah's national parks, each so different and breathtaking in their own way. We've seen the tall monstrous trees of Northern California and the cactus-covered deserts of Arizona, the red rocks of Sedona, and the lake-covered beauty of Minnesota. The oceans of our coasts and gulf speak with waves of His glory, and the cornfields of Iowa shout out God's greatness in swaying leaves. How amazing.
"Come let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker; for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care," (Psalm 95:6-7 NIV).
Thank you, God for all Your Creation! All of it reminds us of You and we give You our praise. Amen.
