Have you ever stared up at the night sky and considered the vastness of space? Have you looked closely at the intricate detail of a daisy? Have you contemplated a sunset or felt the blast of a winter wind? If so, you’ve caught just a glimpse of God’s power.
Yesterday I flew over majestic mountains, lifting their snow-covered peaks to the sky and vast plains which seemed to go on forever. I drove past green forests and lush fields. I felt the rain on my face. I heard a gentle whisper in the wind and wondered, was that His voice?
The beauty of this earth, the vast complexity of creation, the unfathomable reaches of space, leave me breathless at times. And yet, “these are but the outer fringe of his work; how faint the whisper we hear of him!” Job 26:14 NIV.
The wonder and majesty of God, His awesome power, His matchless love, are beyond human comprehension. All the beauty we see around us if but a “faint whisper” of who He is. No wonder David wrote, “What is man that You are mindful of him, the son of man that you visit him?” Psalm 8:4 NKJV
Yet, in spite of our insignificance in the vast landscape of creation, in spite of our rebellion and indifference, “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 NKJV
This Sabbath morning, take a moment to ponder God’s majesty and power, His creative power, His limitless wisdom, and wonder anew that He loves you.
God bless and Happy Sabbath!
