One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
I see Your face in every sunrise The colors of the morning are inside Your eyes The world awakens in the light of the day I look up to the sky and say "You're Beautiful" I see Your power in the moonlit night
Where planets are in motion and galaxies are bright We are amazed in the light of the stars It’s all proclaiming who You are You’re beautiful, You're beautiful ~ "You're Beautiful" Phil Wickham
GOD MADE THIS!!!!!
These past two days, I have been constantly reminded that God is beautiful and has made everything in him. If we just sit and think about nothing, we will see God's true beauty. Genesis 1 says that God made the light and the dark, he made all of the animals,the mountains and the oceans. He knows every hair on our heads. Even we are made in his image. This leads into my devotion for today.
Psalm 24: 1-2
The earth is the LORD's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.
I have to remember that this beautiful world around me is not mine in any way. It is all His world, and not ours. I am purely a guest in his world, an actor in his play. It is awesomely humbling to know and realize that I was created for the benefit of God, and that i really own nothing, To me, and hopefully others it is astonishing to know that the Creator of the universe, the Owner of all wealth, the Great engineer is also the one who loves me for me, is my Heavenly Father, and is planning out the rest of my life in order to end up in His Heavenly home.
To think that God created this big, amazing world around me, where in one place everything seems fine, yet across the world there are people without as many luxuries as I, where God is working in different ways than I could ever imagine, is just mind blowing.
As I look at and hear the creek next to me, the birds singing thier individual songs, feel the sun beating down on my back, and the chill of the cool breeze on my legs, I can't help but to be in awe of God and reminded that everything around me is NOT MY OWN, THAT THIS WORLD IS HIS WORLD and we are just ants under his microscope, working to do His will and lead others to Him so that they see what I see when I look outside my bedroom window...... GOD'S (not ours but GOD'S) CREATION AND WORLD!!
