No doubt as a result of being stationary much of the time and observing the outdoors, I find myself becoming more and more amazed by God's creation.
Complexity which no one can comprehend and beauty which everyone can experience. The incredible scope from our size down to quarks and electrons and up to groups of stars billions of light years away. And the gift that the creation speaks to us, so that we can see its beauty and appreciate the power and divinity of God.
The fact that when we see flowers and trees and find them beautiful is amazing. And that flowers smell good to us! It didn't have to be that way, but God made it that way for our benefit.
When I look out my back porch, I see the edges of the porch roof and a maple tree with some yard behind it, and in the background some garages and houses behind. Typical for this area. But when I notice how the porch frames the view, with the very complex and multi-hued tree in the foreground and the squarish shapes of the buildings in the background, then I think that if an artist could capture it, it would be admired. And light itself. How amazing is that?
Is anyone else noticing these things?
You don't have to believe in God to find the universe awesome. He made it so that it would speak to all of us of him. And for those who see his handiwork in it, the gratitude we feel toward him increases our pleasure.
