Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one and calls forth each of them by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing. Isaiah 40:26
Last night I walked out my front door and there in front of me like a giant portrait framed by the roof and pillars of my porch was the Big Dipper in all it’s splendor. I was taken back by what was unfolding before me. The darker the sky got the more stars that appeared and the more defined the Big Dipper was.
As I sat gazing at its beauty it was like Abba God was saying look at the size of that ladle and it’s filled to overflowing with all the benefits that Jesus provided for us at the cross. And He wants us to access and enjoy them. Most times we think of His love, grace, provision and healing, but what about things like wisdom, joy, peace, hope and answers to life’s questions. So why do we so often miss them? Because we don’t take the time to just sit and focus on Him and allow Him to speak to us in ways we never considered.
Why not take some time today to focus on the beauty of nature, whether it be flowers, a body of water, clouds in a beautiful blue sky or anything that makes you think of our Creator. Let Him speak calm your heart and mind and speak to you with something as simple as “I love you more than you know”. Then let that seed planted begin to grow in your heart. Just try it, you may like it and will want to do it again and again.
