Earth

The earth sings and moves with our Creator. I love the word pictures in scripture. They remind me that the Lord made all things we see, feel, hear, and taste. Our senses can explode with the knowledge of His Creation. The oceans roar, the rocky mountains show purple hue at certain times, the sound of slushing snow with a foot fall, the sound of geese honking overhead or a lions roar, even the feel of the wind on our face are a kiss from heaven.

Psalm 65:5-13 NLT
[5] You faithfully answer our prayers with awesome deeds, O God our savior. You are the hope of everyone on earth, even those who sail on distant seas. [6] You formed the mountains by your power and armed yourself with mighty strength. [7] You quieted the raging oceans with their pounding waves and silenced the shouting of the nations. [8] Those who live at the ends of the earth stand in awe of your wonders. From where the sun rises to where it sets, you inspire shouts of joy. [9] You take care of the earth and water it, making it rich and fertile. The river of God has plenty of water; it provides a bountiful harvest of grain, for you have ordered it so. [10] You drench the plowed ground with rain, melting the clods and leveling the ridges. You soften the earth with showers and bless its abundant crops. [11] You crown the year with a bountiful harvest; even the hard pathways overflow with abundance. [12] The grasslands of the wilderness become a lush pasture, and the hillsides blossom with joy. [13] The meadows are clothed with flocks of sheep, and the valleys are carpeted with grain. They all shout and sing for joy!

He is a lighthouse in the landscape. He calms the raging sea, He stands guard to provide light to a dark world. He guides the path of our life when we reach to him for help. He is a solid foundation in our rocky life. He is a beacon of hope. He is Jesus.

2 Timothy 3:14-17 NLT
[14] But you must remain faithful to the things you have been taught. You know they are true, for you know you can trust those who taught you. [15] You have been taught the holy Scriptures from childhood, and they have given you the wisdom to receive the salvation that comes by trusting in Christ Jesus. [16] All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. [17] God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.

Some people were not given the wisdom of the Bible, if that is the case, you can start today to change the trajectory of your life. Open your own Bible or you can access the Bible online through https://www.biblegateway.com/ or through their iPhone app, they have many versions of the Bible that can help in understanding the words. I use the New Living Translation or the Message ( cultural words).

Don’t let another day go by, access a window to your Creator God. Consider starting in the book of John. You will read about the journey of Jesus and his disciples. It’s inspiring and provides a front seat witness to the 33 years Jesus walked the earth. He left a roadmap to God. He loves us and wants us to walk with Him. One step at a time.
