Psalm 73:25
In the beginning
God created the heavens and the earth; and God saw everything that He had made,
and declared it was very good. The
heavens, the skies above proclaim God’s handiwork. God is truly a supreme artist and architect. He laid the foundations, determined the
measurements, stretched the line upon it, and laid its cornerstone. He clothed it, prescribed limits for it and
set the bars and doors. The law of the
Lord is perfect.
Nature functions
according to plan. If it didn’t there
would be no life. All living things are
dependent upon the earth running according to plan; for all the air that we
breathe, the water that we drink, and the food that we eat. All of these give life and produce growth;
all are created and maintained by God.
That is why Jesus tells us not to be anxious but rather to seek first
the kingdom of God
When I am out in
nature I am connected and communing with the law of God that is perfect. It puts me right, aligned to the plumb
line. It revives my soul, makes me
simple, rejoices my heart, makes me pure, enlightens my eyes, and reveals truth
and righteousness to me. What else could
I need or desire?
God speaks forth
His revelation. His voice is silent yet
it is powerful, full of majesty, and poured out to those who have ears to hear
and eyes to see, every minute of every day and every night. His handiwork is stunning; it is exquisite;
it is unable to be duplicated by any human hands. He reveals all of Himself plainly to all; His
eternal power and His divine nature are clearly perceived to those who have
ears to hear and eyes to see.
“Whom have I in heaven but You,
And there is nothing on earth that I desire
Besides You.”
