It's a Creation!

Dear Christ-ones, what a glorious day in the Lord Jesus! Some in this world would have us to believe that God used sleight of hand to pull the universe out of some cosmic hat. In this age, it is so easy for us to lose our sense of wonder in what God has created for His pleasure. Created in the image of God, man creates many useful and beautiful things. However, this should not take away that sense of wonder we had as children for God's creation. The great psalmist, David, wrote "The heavens declare the glory of God!" (19:1) Stars sing in the Bible (Job 38:7), but can we hear them today? Do we take the time to listen?

I know the story: If God would just let me have that house out in the country with this thing, and that much land, and this amenity, and so on, then, then I would listen to the music of the stars in the silence of my country estate. Yes, I have felt the same siren call, and a nice place it would be to share with friends and family. Would that get us in the listening position though? Would God hear more prayer and get to enjoy more of our attention? More likely would be additional time at work, more time getting to and from work, more cares and more responsibility, and where would the time to enjoy God's handiwork be left?

Today, we enjoy our Lord's works,
Bucky
