Enjoying His Creations

Waking to the beautiful mornings these past few days just reminds me how wonderful our God is and that what He has given us to enjoy should never be overlooked or taken for granted! Everyone has their spirit lifted by enjoying the beauty of the day, even more when you can take advantage of the day to be outside and a part of nature, enjoying the sunshine and feeling a connection to the world that God created. There are very few who don't enjoy a walk in a beautiful park, or a hike on an incredible nature trail!

Most of our lives we are living in the world that we have created, or the world our employer has created. When we move outside of the daily in our lives and step into Gods creation something happens in our spirit and we can feel a connection to something that is wonderful and very compelling. It truly lifts us up in every way! Everyone thinks "I can't wait for the vacation to enjoy this"! It is so true, but can I suggest something else right here? Time in God's creation connects us to Him in a special way when our hearts and eyes are open. Another of God's creation is His Church! Jesus said "I will build my church" Just as He created the natural world for us to enjoy, He has created the church for us to equally enjoy! Our connection to His creation draws us to Him and when we give our time to it we feel connected to Him in a deeper and inspiring way!

So today and everyday as you look out your window and dream of the days of enjoying the outdoors that God has created, think also of the house of God that He has placed you in and what a gift it is from Him and how your involvement will generate a closeness to Him also! God gives us all things to richly enjoy! Enjoy the sun, enjoy people, enjoy the church! All three are His prized creations and your connection will draw you closer to Him! Have a great day!
