Dave Egner has this to share with us: "My son Mark and I were leaving the Clyde Peterson Ranch in Wyoming to head back to Michigan.In the distance we spotted a huge bird sitting in a solitary tree overlooking a steep canyon.
As we approached, the golden eagle leaped from the tree and soared out over the canyon, the golden streaks in its feathers shimmering in the morning sun.
Its immense size and beauty filled us with wonder. We felt privileged to witness this magnificent demonstration of God's awesome creativity.
Creation displays God's "wondrous works' Ps. 145:5. And when we stop to meditate on those works, we can't help but be awed as our minds and spirits are moved to reflect on the character of the God who created them.
That golden eagle told my son and me a story of the creative genius of our Mighty God.
So did the flitting songbird,
the doe with her playful fawn,
the pounding surf,
and delicate little flowers such as bachelor's-button and spring beauty.
In the most unexpected moments and out-of-the-way places the Lord shines His glory in this world in order to reveal Himself to us.
Those serendipitous moments are opportunities to "meditate...on [His] wondrous works" v5."
Let’s pray: Father, may it be true of me, to see Your creative handiwork all around me! Open my eyes to the things You've made especially for me to enjoy. I give my life to You, and am determined to follow what Your Word tells me. Give me understanding of Your ways, and how I can best serve you. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Today’s Bible verse: Ps. 92:1 "It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High."
Today’s quote: Our Daily Bread - "God's fences keep you within the bounds of His blessings."
Our thought today: People, who’ve rejected God, are ungrateful.
