Psalm
46:4
There
is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place
of the tabernacles of the most High.
In
the woods of Maine, not too far from the eastern coast, there is a river that
flows clear and cool. It winds through some of the most gorgeous scenery
imaginable, and carries with it a beauty that is unsurpassed. To see such
sights convinces a person of the reality of God.
God gives us glimpses of
heaven here on earth, so that we might long for such a place from the deepest
reaches of our hearts. That part of us that carries the seed of God responds to
His beauty in creation. If we will look at the world with our spiritual eyes
rather than our physical eyes, we will begin to see God's glories in many new
ways. The gifts of God are indeed abundant. Open your eyes and enjoy them all.
Prayer:
I stand in awe of the wonder of Your creation, God. Help me to see beauty
wherever I look. Don't let me waste time on ugliness, but turn my attention n
to what is good. Amen.
