My friends and I signed up to do a hiking marathon in our county. Our goal was to hike 26.2 miles during the month of September. Well, September is almost over and we are one hike away from completing our goal. It's been fun and just a beautiful way to fellowship and connect with other ladies of the Lord.
What has most impressed me with this sweet time is the beauty and variety of God's creation. He is so amazing, so wildly, above anything we could think or dream, intelligent, creative and imaginitive. The vastness of this world He created truly amazes me. The variety of plant life, mushrooms, rocks. The way the light played through the trees to fall upon the forest floor, dappling it with splashes of brightness. I think we sometimes forget or get to busy to notice how utterly incredible and wonderful His world really is, and in turn how incredible and wonderful our Creator and God is.
We recently visited the Ark Encounter in Kentucky. This is a life size replica of Noah's ark. Just walking around this incredible structure and seeing all the provision for animals, food, people....and to think, God provided for all of it. He thought of everything. He equipped Noah for this herculean task, drew the animals to the ark, and sustained them through the destruction of this world. And now we see in nature the regeneration that took place as the world healed from the Father's wrath and cleansing.
I am so in awe of our heavenly Father. I share a few pictures to point you to Him. They don't do justice to His creation. But I hope they inspire you to look around and praise the Lord as you go about your day.
Thank You Father for the beauty You give us. In every day we see Your hand and Your handiwork. Open us up to Your glory and let our hearts sing Your praise. In the Name of Jesus who is our only Savior. Amen.
Read Genesis 1
