All the trees will clap their hands...

Walking through the meadows this morning on my way to Uni I just had to stop in awe of the glorious creation surrounding me. I love this winter period where the air is crisp and the leaves are trodden into the ground. Frost is beginning to appear on the grass, as it slowly melts into dew. The sun is slowly breaking through the misty sky and I feel like a insignificant being as I witness nature in action.

The thing that took my breathe away was seeing the mark of a maker on everything I witnessed. That someone lovingly and carefully created each thing that I had the honour of looking at. Even in the mess of this world, God's creation is evident. Its alive and it is still has the power to make humans step back and recognise the real creator. We get so tangled up in our own lives, thinking that we are something great and brilliant when actually we are so insignificant compared to the creation around us.

But in the eyes of God, we are something.

In Genesis we see God putting Adam and Eve in charge of all of His creation and calls us to be stewards of His land. God uses us insignificant beings for an extraordinary purposes. Sometimes purposes we don't even know or realise yet but God has released into us His Holy Spirit the "guider" and "helper" in so that we can do His will, whatever that may be.

SO bask in God's creation, let Him speak to you through it and let Him speak of how awesome you are in His sight.

Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Matthew 6:26

Boom
