Splender in God's Glory







God's Glory in Creation
[1] The heavens are telling the glory of God;
and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.
[2] Day to day pours forth speech;
and night to night declares knowledge.
[3] There is no speech, nor are there words;
their voice goes out through all the earth,
and their words to the end of the world.
In the heavens he has set a tent for the sun,
[5] which comes out like a bridegroom
from his wedding canopy,
and like a strong man runs its course with joy.
Psalms 19:1-5 NRSV

If we are paying attention to what is going on outside, we cannot help but be taken by the beauty of God's Glorious creation happening all around us. The psalmist declares that "Day to day pours forth speech" and this spring season it certainly has. Despite the hue of yellow pollen, we see colors so vibrant, so beautiful, so breathtaking that can often times leave us speechless.
I pray you can find time in your weekend to take a walk, ride a bike, or sit and breathe in the beauty of God's creation. Let your soul find peace and joy, taking in all that God's beauty has to speak to you.

Blessing:
May you see the glory of God in sun and sky;
may you hear the Creator's song in bird and breeze;
and may the grace of Christ's Spirit course through you,
blody and soul.
Sam Hamilton-Poore in Earth Gospel; A Guide to Prayer For God's Creation
