Lessons From Creation
Spring blooms outside my window and the buds on the trees begin to sprout. Dandelions cover the grass and the flowery scents tickle my nose. Tulips, Dogwood trees, Rhododendron's and potted Pansies all make an appearance after a long winter's sleep. I once again am awestruck at the beauty of God's creation. What once seemed dead, lifeless, is now bursting with vibrancy, color and life. I never worry about the flowers not blooming come Spring time, or fear that the vegetation not grow... it just does. Every year at the same time Spring returns. The lessons displayed in all of creation never cease to bring me closer to the Lord.
For
the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly
seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal
power and Godhead;
Romans 1:20a
The Psalms paint a glorious picture of God's creation obeying His eternal power and thus bringing praise to our Creator.
let the mountains sing together for joy;
Ever since Adam and Eve, humans have been awestruck with the beauty of nature. Both believers and unbelievers alike seem drawn to the beauty of God's creation. Why is this?
Surrender
"God has created the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and the flowers, and the trees, and the grass; and are they not all absolutely surrendered to God? Do they not allow God to work in them just what He pleases? When God clothes the lily with its beauty, is it not yielded up, surrendered, given over to God as He works in its beauty? And God’s redeemed children, oh, can you think that God can work His work if there is only half or a part of them surrendered? God cannot do it. God is life, and love, and blessing, and power, and infinite beauty, and God delights to communicate Himself to every child who is prepared to receive Him; but ah! this one lack of absolute surrender is just the thing that hinders God. And now He comes, and as God, He claims it."
May the God of heaven and earth teach you, guide you and show you His beautiful creation this Spring!
