"By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible." - Hebrews 11:3
The rains fall fresh upon the grass, that is slowly breaking through the soil (in my neighbor's yard at least). Birds are happily chirping in the morning dawn as I walk out to my car and there seems to be a little extra kick in the kids steps as they skip their way to school. I can't help but wonder in awe at the regenerative beauty of the Lord's fingers.
As we observe the freshness and newness of nature, I find myself pondering the creation of it all. On day one God began creating what you and I enjoy today. I have a 100 foot Oak tree in my back yard that every year shed it's leaves, and every Spring it's full of leaves once again. Certainly there are scientific definitions of photosynthesis that explains how this happens, but at the core of this legendary tree who created the cell of the wood fiber? Who designed the process for that wood fiber to pass water and nutrients from the ground all the way to the budding tips of each branch?
You cannot look at the beauty of the flowers, grass, trees and fields without pausing for just a moment at the miraculous creation of the entire world. Take a walk today or this weekend, and open up your eyes to the wonders of God's creation. Restore your faith through the beauty you see before you and ponder for yourself the magnificencse of everything He has given you to enjoy. If you can see the Lord in these things, than trust that you also are His creation and are just as beautiful and amazing. Let the freshness of Spring renew your spirit and your faith in His promises and love.

Prayer:
Loving Father,
The world is a beautiful garden filled with Your amazing creation. We are blessed by those things around us each and every day and we lift up our praises and thanksgiving for Your loving presence. Help us to understand Your love for us is beyond comprehension, and every fiber muscle, bone and cell of our bodies were created by Your hand. We are Your masterpiece and are perfectly made. In Your name we pray. Amen
