We know that God created the heavens and the earth. But how often do we think about it? Have you ever taken time to view the stars at night? Have you seen majestic mountains in the distance and driven for several miles just to get to the base of them? Have you flown in an airplane and looked down at the earth passing below you?
God’s creation is amazing. If we take a few moments and really notice it all, we are in awe of it. The mighty oak starts as a small acorn. The mighty Mississippi River starts at Itasca Lake, MN and flows north for several miles before turning east, then south becoming larger along the way due to several tributaries.
We see everyday reminders of God’s magnificent creation. There are the multi-colored flowers around our homes or along the highway. There are the bees who pollinate the flowers. We see tiny bugs and large cattle. We encounter many people who all look and act different, yet we are 99.9% the same in our DNA.
The evidence of God’s existence and his creation is all around us. How can we be so blind that we do not see it?! Might I suggest we are so busy we miss it. We focus on our immediate situation, having tunnel vision, rather than seeing the bigger creation. We strive to put things under our control, rather than admitting that God is in control.
If we want to fully worship God, to be in awe of him, we must open our eyes and see his creation. To fully appreciate what God has done for us, we need to see what he has done all around us. Will we open our eyes? Will we be in awe of God? Will we fully worship him?
I pray we all open our eyes to God’s creation. I pray we see his majesty in what we see every day. I pray each one of us desires to fully worship God with awe and wonder at his creation. Open your eyes. See God’s creation. Be in awe of God. Seek to fully worship him.
Psalm 24:1-2
The earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it,
the world, and those who live in it;
for he has founded it on the seas,
and established it on the rivers.
