THE GLORY OF GOD'S CREATION
We Stand in Awe!
Our God, Creator of Heaven and Earth; the glories of Nature; the Miracle of Our Senses; Life!
He's the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending...the Almighty Father who holds the earth in place.
And hush speaks sleep to the pond …
In Awe, I stand before You, Creator of Heaven and Earth!
PSALM 139:
verses 1- 6
Oh, Lord you have searched me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. You comprehend my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold, O Lord, You know it altogether. You have hedged me behind and before, and laid Your hand upon me; such knowledge is too wonderful for me, to lofty for me to attain.
verses 7- 10
Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there Your hand will guide me, Your right hand will hold me fast.
verses 11-12
If I say, surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me, even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.
Listen to the Quiet, A Prose-Poem
The night sky’s splendor runs to greet me. I wait, watching from my lanai and feel blessed.
When I awaken, the lazy morning sun enfolds me. Still in its warmth,
the grass grows and I listen in. Peace rules my reach of this world.
Cardinals strut nearby, chirping a song written for me. Rain droplets trickle down my cheeks …
and life is what I touch and hear and see and feel, right now –in this glorious, quiet moment.
Thank you, dear Lord that you are near. When I whisper your name, you hear me.
If I close my eyes and can’t speak a word, you know what I mean. As hush speaks sleep to the pond,
a cool breeze and sunshine, bright, rest upon me…You, Lord, are everywhere.
PRAYER:
You, Lord, are omniscient, omnipresent, all-knowing and all-powerful. You are majestic in all your ways. You formed the world- the sea and earth and minute forms of life. You formed our bodies, soul and spirit. You, dear Father, know our hearts, our thoughts. You are always near.
Who is like You, Lord? No one is like You…and so, we stand in awe of You, our Creator and Redeemer, the Beginning and the End! We love You for loving us enough to send Your only begotten Son to save this lost world from sin and death – on the cross, dying and from the tomb, resurrected! We cannot comprehend such love, Lord but we praise You for Your gift to us! Thank You for Your greatness, Your faithfulness and compassion toward us in these, the last days of this world as we know it. Thank You for Your gracious love to me and all those who open their hearts to You. We wait for Your glorious return. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
