This morning I woke up early and sat outside on the point down in Key Colony Beach.  It’s a little bit breezy today but the morning sky is absolutely beautiful.  My view is facing the wrong direction for the sunrise but the sky is still amazing.  I looked around for a bit and saw a bird sitting on the pools edge enjoying the view as well.  I got to spend some time reflecting on the beauty of God’s creation and just how awesome and powerful God is.  It brought to mind Psalm 19.  Let’s look at it together today.

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.  Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.  They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them.  Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the end of the world.  In the heavens God pitched a tent for the sun.  It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, like a champion rejoicing to run his course.  It rises on one end of the heavens and makes it’s circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of it’s warmth.  

The beauty of the world which God has made is all around when we take a moment to look for it and notice it.  In a world where we hear so much about war, division, crime, and injustice it is important to reflect upon the beauty that God has made as well.  We have a job to share God’s love in our beautiful world which has been marred by the stain of sin.  Take time today to notice, appreciate, and thank God for the beauty of creation.  Then reflect on that beauty and share the love of the one who made it with the world.  

In His Grip,

Pastor Dave
