“O Lord, how manifold are your works! In wisdom have you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. May my meditation be pleasing to him, for I rejoice in the Lord.”
Psalm 104:24, 34 ESV
We are sometimes so immersed in the problems of the day that we miss the natural wonder around us. God in His wisdom created all, He made earth overflow with diverse and wonderful creations. Let’s take time to look and enjoy nature outside our window. Take time to appreciate the small flower growing in a crack in the sidewalk, a bird filling our morning with a song, the sun shining through the clouds, the joy of children singing, and the smile on the face of a neighbor walking by. Thank you Lord, for creating this wildly wonderful world, for us, to enjoy. The secret thoughts of everyone, like those of the psalmist, are personal and private to the individual and no man can truly know the inner contemplations of another's minds, the meditations of another's heart, or the deepest yearnings of another's inner being. But when our thoughts fly to the stability and grace of our Father in heaven, when we meditate upon His faithfulness, contemplate His wonderful grace, and reflect upon His Word of truth, we discover that our heart is resting on the sure foundation of peace and hope. When the thoughts of our mind and the ponderings of our heart have the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ as the focal point, they will indeed be pleasing to the Lord, for we are instructed to keep the eyes of our hearts on Jesus Who is the Author and Finisher of our faith. When we sing to the Lord of the wonders of His amazing grace, with every breath of our being and glory in the joy of our salvation, then our thoughts will be pleasing to the Lord and our heart will also rejoice in the God our Savior. Will you take time to relax and enjoy God’s wildly wonderful creation today?!!!
