The World, Us, and God


Something new that God has been showing me lately is how wonderful His creation really is, and how unordinary it is for us to be alive here on this planet. I think that one trick the devil uses, that is very successful, is making every day seem ordinary and similar to one another. People get caught up in their to-do-lists and getting to the next day, the weekend, the next holiday, or what ever else we look forward to. We fail to remember that our lives can end this very instance. This might be harsh but it is true in every sense. Just as the Bible says, "our lives are like mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes". Before we know it it will all be over and we never once lived in the present.

Currently, we are living on a huge sphere that fly's around a burning fire ball in a galaxy among galaxies. Living things are all around us and we don't even notice them. Nothing about our lives is normal. The Bible also says that we have no excuse to not see God's glory because of His creation. The world is a beautiful place that has been twisted by the fall, but God is not gone from it.


We get distracted from admiring our Creator every day. Like I said before, God has been showing me how great His creation is by taking me on adventures that have shown me some breath taking things and I have become so humbled by admiring it.

Let's get out of our routine lives and just worship and recognize our Creator. When we get into robot mode lets shake ourselves out of it. Just think about how small we are in this world, how much God loves each one of us, what little time we have to live, and how we want to spend our time living.
