As I awoke this morning and lay in bed, that voice in my head that at times can get pretty weird simply said: "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made." [Psalm 139:14] Not weird at all. My Pug on the other hand is. The moment he senses movement it is his time to go outside, whether I like it or not. In taking him out this morning, with boots rather than croc's (if you follow me on Twitter you'll understand), I missed the beauty of what God had painted for a picture.
I didn't see it until I drove into the office. There was such a beauty in the new fallen snow that I just had to praise him for such a wonderful picture. Now anyone who know's me understands that winter and I do not get along at any level. Which makes this morning all the more amazing, as God spoke to my heart through his creation. I love it when he does that.
It blesses me to no end when he does that because he defines for me in those moments that we are his creation, fearfully and wonderfully made. We are designed to worship him, and be in awe of him. Sometimes that happens in the quiteness of devotions or in a worship service. Sometimes it's happens as we head down a slippery, snow covered interstate surrounded by mountains, painted with the dusting of icy snow and mist. How beautiful.
The hustle and bustle of life and the tyranny of the urgent has at times caused me to move too fast, too focused and too directed to journey off the beaten path of life and enjoy the wonder of Yahweh's creation. Shame on me! The LORD created me for fellowship, he created me in his image so I could enjoy life and all it has to offer. I am fearfully and wondefully made, and so are you!
Sit back, look about you, and enjoy his creation today. Soak in his majesty as he blesses you with picture upon picture on the canvas of his creation.
