READ: PSALMS 19:1-4; 148:1-14

Have you ever looked around at nature and just felt in awe of how beautiful God’s creation is? God made a wonderful world, and He invites us to enjoy it with Him—from sunsets to ocean waves. Sometimes we’re so moved by the beauty around us, we can’t find the words to express how we feel.

God made everything that exists, and He made it all good. Though creation has been deeply affected by sin, and we experience brokenness in so many ways, we still encounter many reminders of His beauty, His love, and His power in the world around us.

God has no sin. While some of the beauty in creation is marred by sin, God’s beauty is not. His majesty and power are perfect. And He gives reminders of that in creation—all of it praises Him.

We are in awe—and maybe a little fear as well—of something like a thunderstorm or a strong wind. But God is the one in control of it all. He’s showing us His power whenever there’s a storm, whenever the wind blows.

Creation can leave us awestruck. Just imagine the awe we will feel when we see Jesus in all His glory! Everything was created through Jesus, and when He returns, it will be infinitely better than anything we’ve ever felt on this earth. Until that day, whenever we experience awe or wonder in nature, we can remember who creation is praising—and lift up our own praise to the Creator. • Haley Walts

• What in nature leaves you awestruck? Consider taking a moment to remember this feeling of awe, and let it overflow in praise to God.

• Because Jesus died for our sins and rose from the grave to give us new life, we have the sure hope of His return—when He will restore the heavens and the earth, and He will raise His people from the dead to live with Him forever! Then, creation will no longer be marred by sin, and everything will be as our Creator intended. If you want to dig deeper, read Isaiah 11:6-10; Romans 8:19-22; Colossians 1:16-20.

Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all you shining stars. Psalm 148:3 (CSB)
