Walking by Faith

Praise to our powerful God, Creator of the Universe!

I will exalt you, my God the King, I will praise your name forever and ever. Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise, his greatness no one can understand. One generation will speak your works to another; they will tell of your might acts... I will meditate on your works and consider what your hands have done... … The maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them... He determines the number of stars and calls them each by name… Let them praise the name of the LORD, for he commanded and they were created. He set them in place forever and ever… Let them praise the name of the LORD, for his name alone is exalted; his splendor is above the earth and the heavens… Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.

Psalm 145:1-5, 143:5, 146:6, 147:4, 148:5, 148:13, 150:6

With one decision, history began. Existence became measurable. Out of nothing came light. Out of light came day. Then came sky… and earth. And on this earth, a mighty hand went to work.

Canyons were carved. Oceans were dug. Mountains erupted out of flatlands. Stars were flung. A universe sparkled.

Look to the canyons to see the Creator’s splendor. Touch the flowers and see His delicacy. Listen to the thunder and hear His power. But gaze on humanity the - zenith - and witness all three… and more.

Today you will encounter God’s creation. When you see the beauty around you, let each detail remind you to lift your head in praise. Express your appreciation for God’s creation. Encourage others to see the beauty of His Creation.

In the Eye of the Storm

Lord, we often come to you with mixed up ideas, unsure of what is best. Thank you, Father, for the assurance that our imperfect prayers cannot hinder your incredible power.
