The power of God on display in nature

Posted byoakhillcrossvillePosted inUncategorized
Good morning everyone,
 
Our theme for this month: “God’s power in you and for you”
 
Our Bible verse for today: “The heavens proclaim the glory of God. And the firmament shows His handiwork.” Psalm 19:1 (NKJV)
 
Our thought for today: “The power of God on display in nature”
 
Aimee and I both love nature and therefore, we both love being outdoors. Individually, we have each always been “porch people.” By that I mean we would rather be out on the porch than inside, even during cold weather. It might require a heavy winter coat, gloves, blanket, an outdoor space heater, or even a fire in the propane firepit, but we both prefer to be outside instead of inside.
 
Now that we’re married, in the home we share (which is in the country at the foot of a mountain), we have a back porch that is screened-in and which provides us a great view of the mountain. It too is equipped with a large space heater and plenty of heavy blankets. We plan to continue using it throughout the fall and winter because we want to be outside enjoying God’s wonderful creation rather than being cooped up inside the house.
 
The Fall is our favorite season because we love the crisp autumn air and the beautiful colors of the leaves. This is God displaying His majesty through the change of the seasons. It is awesome, beautiful, and awe-inspiring. Which, of course, is true of God’s wonderful creation in general. There’s so much beauty in the world! That’s exactly the point the psalmist was making in Psalm 19:1. Nature itself proclaims God’s glory. (I think we must conclude that God Himself loves beauty because He created so much of it.)
 
I encourage you to spend some time outdoors this weekend enjoying the beauty of God’s marvelous creation. Soak it in. Let it soothe your soul. And let it remind you of just how awesome, majestic, and all-powerful God is. His creative power is on full display all around us.
 
God bless,
Pastor Jim
