“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.” -Psalm 139:14

SPRING is here! Everywhere I look there are little yellow dandelions springing from the grass, pink blossoms radiating from bushes, green buds bursting off of trees! This song totally came to mind…

Lord of all creation, of water earth and sky
The heavens are Your tabernacle
Glory to the Lord on high

God of wonders beyond our galaxy
You are holy, holy
The universe declares your majesty
You are holy, holy

Nature is singing of God’s great glory!
But God is not just Lord of nature, He is Lord of ALL creation.
If God would make all of nature so beautiful and wonderful, then how much more care and love would he have put in when He created you and me?

God knows us.
He knew us even before we were born.
He perfectly and purposefully created us to worship Him.
Just like those beautiful blossoms, let’s shout and sing and shine for God’s glory!
