Psalm 148: 7-10 Praise the Lord from the earth, you sea monsters and all deeps, fire and hail, snow and frost, stormy wind fulfilling his command! Mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars! Wild animals and all cattle, creeping things and flying birds!
Romans 1: 19-20 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. Ever since the creation of the world his eternal power and divine nature, invisible though they are, have been understood and seen through the things he has made. So they are without excuse.
God's fingerprint is all over creation. His majesty and glory are reflected in all He has created for all to see.
Nature often calls me to ponder our creator. I noticed bodies of water doing this first. When I am at the coast I inevitably spend time watching and listening to the ocean. Its unimaginable volume and depth, the infinite force behind its waves and the secrets of its depths make me wonder at the nature of its creator. The never ending flow of a river makes me marvel at our God who was before the beginning and will continue beyond the end. Mountains majestically towering over the land hint at Gods timeless power and glory. Forests with their countless intricacies serve as a deep, lush, mysterious home for wildlife and point to our infinite, unfathomable Lord. Fish, birds and animals of all kinds quietly scream at us to take notice of the master artist who gave life to each of them. That He would make a home for us and include us among His glorious works speaks of the love He has for us. Our God is both unimaginably huge and tiny, towering and deep, brilliant and dark. He is hidden all around us calling us closer.
Gracious Creator of all that is seen and unseen, thank you. Amen.
