I’ll tell
you more about my beautiful night at Steele Farms next week, but may I just say
we had the perfect weather for enjoying the Flower Patch? The sunset…the
gorgeous flowers…it was just amazing.
At the end of my short message,
I invited all the ladies to walk slowly through the flowers and just enjoy. Appreciate.
Consider the beauty of the flowers God created and consider the Creator of the
flowers.
I took my own challenge and made
my way slowly though the rows of all sorts of flowers. I only know about three
of the names, but I know their beauty. I inspected the fragile petals and
marveled at the intricacy of it all. I watched them blow in the breeze, and I
didn’t miss the chance to admire a proper Midwestern sunset.
And as I did all these things, I
kept thinking about Job 38. I’ve been thinking about those words as I’ve
studied Beth Moore’s summer series on Job. This chapter is God’s answer to Job –
and He walks Job through creation and reminds him that he wasn’t there for ay
of that. It was all God’s work.
What must it have been like to
watch all these beautiful, colorful, magnificent flowers come into existence?
As gorgeous as The Flower Patch is (and it is…) it’s nothing compared to
the perfection of Eden and the original, perfect flowers created at the beginning
of this earth’s time.
I went back to read Job 38 again
last night (and you should too, if you haven’t read it for a while!) and found
myself in awe of our magnificent Creator God. The power, might, splendor, and majesty
of all that He made is beyond my comprehension, but I never want to lose the
wonder of it all.
It’s been a hot summer, and I
feel the draw of air conditioning as much as (maybe more than) most people. But
if you haven’t gotten to spend some time outside, enjoying and appreciating the
beauty of what God made, I encourage you to make some time for it. Let it soak
into your soul. Worship the Lord in the splendor of the world He spoke into
existence.
