Thoughts for another day

Today's verse: Ps. 19:1. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handiwork. (KJV)

(Pls. read the above before you read further. Thanks)

A fresh breeze blows gently over the land and I'm refreshed.  I look up at the deep blue sky and am filled with awe at its awesomeness.  It's so stunning with soft fluffy white clouds positioned in wonderful patterns of harmony in the sky.   I behold the birds, crisscrossing the vast expanse which my eye is blessed to see and it looks so beautiful.  I see the gorgeous tulips and marigolds fluttering in the breeze as the bees go about doing their job of manufacturing delightful honey in their combs.  I'm aware of the soft grass I sit on, and as I sit, I see it lilting to the gentle sway of the breeze as if the two are doing a waltz to please their Creator.

Did I say Creator?  Well the world in its wisdom opposes me saying this wonderful creation spread right before my eyes is all a thing of 'chance' and that it came to be evolved. I wonder, are the forces of earth capable of creating something so fascinating and beautiful?  What I've described as my vision of the little space I occupy is nothing compared to the vast canvas of the universe and I can write volumes on its beauty and grandeur.  I'm sure Someone, who is the zenith of wisdom, brilliance and splendor created it with much love…Someone with immense and infinite capabilities, to create a piece of art so awesome. And every painter knows that no paint or brush by themselves can, even with trillions of strokes make one single painting and yet, I'm told this most glorious canvas is produced by chance!!!

Daft and foolish are they who ignore the hand of the Master in creation for truly the heavens declare His glory and both earth and sky display the array of His strokes.  Take a good look at all you see around (which isn't made by man) and you'll see dazzling beauty in it.  There's so much loveliness, it can floor you.  It provides proof of the existence of a God so marvelous, you can't help but exclaim, 'You are brilliant my God and wonderful for You also came to save me.'
