God's Glorious Creation

The earth is the LORD's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; Psalm 24:1

Last week at this time I was sitting on my sister's back patio enjoying dinner in Denver Colorado surrounded by the mountain air and my most wonderful family. Yes, the weather was so amazing we actually got to eat outside without sweating pouring off of our forehead and into our food. It was perfect!!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation, but more than anything I was reminded how glorious God's creation truly is and how often I take it for granted. The majestic mountains, the deep canyons, the colorful foliage, the rocky terrain, the flowing rivers, the cool weather, the fresh, mountain air, the smell of pine trees and rain, the grazing animals and most importantly the beauty of family.

As I sat back and took all of it in I kept thinking about a very simple, yet profound Bible verse. One we all know and the very first verse in the Bible. Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." How anyone could ever argue that there is no God is beyond me. Take a look around you and you will see how amazing God really is. He formed and shaped the entire world and everything in it with his hands in only a matter of six days. That's just unfathomable.

I hope you all take in the beauty of the Lord's creation today. Stop and take a few deep breaths. Enjoy your loved ones and tell them you love them. Realize the beauty and majesty of God. Meditate on Him today and thank Him for the incredible world around you. He has created all of this to bring glory to His name and Oh how lovely it is!
