Standing in Awe

Romans 1:20 (KJV) Says, "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead:; so that they are without excuse."

The above passage of scripture identifies, and makes clear that God not only exists, but that he is the divine creator of all that is. The book of Genesis covers God's divine creation in great detail. If a non-believer in God would simply take  the time to  truly considers how complicated and precise all of creation is, and how so much of nature works in sync they would be hard pressed to continue in their non-belief.

Born again believers in Jesus Christ should also take the time to ponder the magnificence of all that God has created, and experience the awe and wonder that comes along with that experience. Often times we zip through life without taking even a moment to consider all that God has created, how amazing it is, and to praise and thank him for it.

Consider the complicated design of trees, plants, bees, and pollination. Ponder the complicated design of the human body, the miracle of childbirth, and our ability to experience emotions. Consider that two-thirds of the earth is covered with water, and yet it never overtakes us. Think about it, there is no other explanation for why seas and oceans stop at the seashores other than that Almighty God commanded them too. Ponder the miraculous changing of the seasons. Think about how the cold weather controls the insect population, how wildlife has been given the ability to know when to store up food for the winter, and some the knowledge that it is time for them to hibernate. Consider the fact that birds and squirrels have been given the ability to build nests for their families. Ponder the fact that God provides water from heaven in the form of rain for all living things. Consider sunrises, sunsets, the light of the moon and the perfect timing of all light and darkness. I could go on and on listing products of God's complicated and divine design because he has blessed us with so much.

I encourage you to slow down, and take the time to admire and stand in awe of all that God has created. I urge you to consider the complexity, and divine design of all that you hear, and see. The next time you're outdoors surrounded by nature; or standing on a seashore looking at a vast amount of water; pause and truly consider the magnificence of it all. I promise you it will be a blessing, and an amazing experience. I don't think you'll ever look at things in a fast paced way again. As you take it all in, remember to praise and thank God for all that he's given us. He has blessed us in so many ways.

If you have a prayer request and would like me to pray for you, leave me a message and I will be more than happy to do so. May God bless you!
