When was the last time you took time to wonder how things were created? Have you considered how things came into being? Have you marveled at the many things God has created? When was the last time you read the creation story?
We often are on the go so much that we don’t take time to see all that is around us. We don’t need to go on an African safari to be amazed at God’s creation. We don’t need to climb the Himalaya’s to see wondrous sites. God has created everything we see every day.
Take time to smell the roses. We have heard that saying yet often don’t do it. Even in a city, what we might call a concrete jungle, there are things God created we can marvel at. There are trees, flowers, grass, waterways, animals, and people. In rural communities we can see even more things. We see grain growing, farm animals, wild animals, birds of prey, and more.
One of the most amazing things I see are the hummingbirds that migrate to our home every year. Did you know they are the only bird that can fly backward. They dart in and out and around quicker than any human reflex. They also buzz by your head, and you hear the hum of their wings. They are quite entertaining and just one example of God’s amazing creation.
So, take time to see God’s creation. Be amazed by the many variations. Notice the wide array of colors. Enjoy the fruits from the growth God has given. Smell the fragrance of the flowers. Watch the animals dart around your yard. Thank God for the many variations of creation and the very breath you breathe today.
I pray we all take time to notice God’s amazing creation. I pray we take time to read the creation story. I pray each one of us thank God for creating us and all that he has created. Notice God’s creation. Read the story. Thank God for his creation. Thank God for creating you.
Genesis 1:31 God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
