O LORD, how manifold are thy works! In wisdom hast thou made them all; the earth is full of thy creatures (RSV). Psalm 104:24 Read Psalms 104
I was fourteen years old
behind my junior high school on the track and field after school about to walk
home. I looked up at the sky, so incredibly blue. I hopped onto an empty tire
pole which was used to support one side of a volleyball net. I held the pole
with one hand and circled around the pole looking up. I paused for a moment in
awe of God’s creation and my tiny place in it. I was not in a hurry to go home.
I was a teenager and we had issues at home. I dallied there for a few more
minutes praying and enjoying the peace of God’s beautiful sky. Lost in God’s
glory, I felt or heard God say, “It’s okay. You can go home because I’ll be
with you.” I was moved by the assurance that I was indeed a part of God’s
amazing creation and of God’s love and care for me.
Thought for the Day: Take
time to be embraced by God in God’s Creation!
Prayer: God of all, thank
you for the many ways you manifest Thyself, thy Presence, thy Glory! Help me
take a few minutes each day to bask and meditate on Your beautiful Creation. In
doing so may I realize anew that I am a part of the Glory of your
Creation--forgiven, loved, and forever embraced by You. Amen.
