Psalm 8 Verses 3-4
3 When I look at thy heavens, the work of thy fingers,
the moon and the stars which thou hast established;
4 what is man that thou art mindful of him,
and the son of man that thou dost care for him?
You are the Lord of life. What wonderous things you have done. The moon and stars are only a small part of your creation. You have given us so much beauty to behold. Yet we fail to see it. We don’t take time to look around at what God has done for us. God’s hand is in everything from the flowers of the field to the beauty of the ocean. We seldom pay attention. And yet…and yet he does not forget us. We are part of that creation and he remembers us each and every one. I wonder if we deserve so much.
What an amazing gift!
Prayer: Creator God thank you for all the wonders of the earth. Help us to remember that we are just caregivers and not owners. Help us to change our greedy ways. AMEN
Homework: Take some time to look at the beauty around us and thank God.
Today the smell of the Jasmine is glorious. It is so beautiful. Early for it to bloom. Maybe it knows we need its scent to lift our spirits. I do love flowers with scent. When I was a child my grandmother had a amazing garden with hundreds of roses and other blooming things. We always had flowers in the house. The roses had such a wonderful smell. Today, if you buy roses, there is really little smell. It has been bred out to make the blooms bigger. Such a loss. I never want roses of the kind available today but prefer something with scent.
