Did you see the sunset last night (Saturday evening)? Now, this was sunset in Austin, Texas. And if you don't live in Texas, I'm sorry. I've lived in five different states and have traveled and spent time in 25 additional states and multiple foreign countries on three continents. There is some incredible beauty in those places, but the most beautiful sunsets I've ever seen are those in Texas. Yesterday's sunset was another that gave evidence of God's creative work of beauty that inspires awe and thanksgiving.
Psalm 8:1 (ESV) O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.
David continues in that Psalm to express his amazement, when he looks at the heavens, the work of God's fingers, the moon and the stars which God has put in place. As he takes in the display of God's beautiful work it causes him to marvel and give thanks for God's care for us.
Give God thanks for the beauty you find around you today. It's a reminder that He cares for you and is capable of beautiful work in the world and in you.
Pastor Rod
