The Beauty of the Earth
I look around at my surroundings as I walk my dog or go get the mail, and think to myself, it is so hot out here. I will tell my dog to hurry up, or I will drag him back into the house because I just can’t stand the heat. I completely ignore the beauty of the world and how there is so much around me. Only when I take my time to slow down do I see just a glimpse of what God made. God made it all, and it is so amazing and beyond my mind.
I think about the ocean and how much life it really contains. The reefs have so much life and beauty which scream to me. Each thing has its own purpose and was created by God. I think how could he make something so beautiful? But it only takes me a second to remember God’s nature and that He is Beautiful. He gives us so much, yet we take it for granted.
You might watch a show on Animal Planet or Discovery that talks about the world. Not once do you here them say that God created it. All you here is falsehood about how it is millions of years old and everything came from some germ. I can not see how they are blinded to the complexity and don’t put it together with a creator. They say millions of years of trial and error or just by chance, our world came to be what it is today. I think to myself, how idiotic! Only God could create something as beautiful or complex as our world.
All around us are hints, not small but huge hints, that God is behind it all. The jungles, deserts, beaches, and so much more have God’s handiwork written all over them. Each so different and special make the world what it is. God gave us a wonderful place to live, and in return, we do not give him the credit he rightly deserves. But above all, we don’t even thank him.
