Psalm 118:24—This is the day the Lord has made; Let us
rejoice and be glad in it!
The wonder and splendor of God’s creation unfolds anew each
and every day. Sometimes, though, I
think it is easy to become desensitized to it.
We become preoccupied with other responsibilities and consumed with
things like school, jobs, and taking care of others. It is important to pause and take time each
and every day to marvel at His Creation.
It is a precious gift that reminds us of God’s power and perfect creativity. We can see and feel the Holy Spirit as we
stare at a bed of roses or watch the shifting shapes of clouds. God’s peace
comes from understanding we are part of something greater than ourselves, and
appreciating His Creation helps us to see a glimpse of this bigger picture.
Today as you pray and meditate on His Word, praise God as
Creator. Take a look around you and
focus on one beautiful aspect of nature – the sunrise, a flower, a landscape –
and just be silent. Ask the Holy Spirit
to make His presence known and to fill you with peace. Thank God for the gift
of His Creation.
