BEAUTIFUL

God's creation is so spectacular in the spring. I am amazed at the renewing of plant life, when everything begins to grow again and bud and flower. This is our front yard at our condo in Oshkosh, WI. Last fall I put in 250 bulbs and now God has done His part in making them grow and bloom. The hot pink tulips were not quite blooming, just showing a little of the color to come around the edges of the petals. So when they do bloom, the center section will be a riot of bright color. The colors are "breathtaking" and the shapes and sizes are infinitely varied. God IS our CREATOR and deserves our appreciation and thanks for the beauty of His creation. He gives to all freely to enjoy. Many never really see the intricacies in nature or show appreciation for it. Many do not have "spiritual eyes" to see Him in His creation or "spiritual ears" to hear Him in His Word, the Bible. Yet His Word says He is evident in all of nature. So they are deaf and blind spiritually because they do not seek the one who created them. The Bible says "our sin separates us from God and we all are sinners and God hates our sin." The arrogance of not believing God's Word is a step in the direction of keeping what we think is "control of our lives". The creation elevates itself higher than the one who created it. That is pretty cheeky if you ask me and yet we all are guilty of sin.

Thank you Lord for the beauty of your creation and for the ultimate gift of yourself for our sin. God bless you.
