Day 114: Creative

Posted on by sightlesswalk

Spring is here

and creation is

bursting forth

with new

LIFE. LIFE. LIFE.

This is one of my FAVORITE times of the year. How about you? Are you as enamored  with the emergence of buds and shoots and new baby birds tweeting for their mama’s care as I am?

I am fascinated.  Are you?

Of all the things I see, there are so many things I cannot see. In my own backyard there is  action in the earth, in the trees, and on a blade of grass. From the most minute substances and creatures, I ponder the amazement that GOD made it all.

EVERYTHING.

God has made the things that are seen and UNSEEN!!!

I rejoice in the CREATOR!!!

I cannot even wrap my mind around all of CREATION!!!

ALL OF IT!

The earth is the LORD’s and the fullness thereof, the world and all who dwell in it. Psalm 24:1

May my heart and yours give glory to the Creator of this AMAZING creation. May we give thanks for the work of His hands. May we bring the same zest and zeal to HIM the way we do to those who create: artists, architects, musicians, surgeons…..for HE made all these and more….He made you and He made me. May you and I rejoice that we are “fearfully and wonderfully made”.  We LOVE YOU LORD OF HOSTS!!

Day 49: m e l t i n g

It is good to give God thanks in all things. It’s not only good, but it is God’s will for you and for me.

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 Thessalonians 5:18  

Have you ever been challenged to have a heart of gratitude in the midst of  dreary weather?  Isn’t our first response to complain about it? It’s dark.  It’s cold. It’s raining. It’s MISERABLE out! What else do we have to say? Sure, for some, it is merely stating facts, but for others, like myself, I believe there is more involved.

He who guards his mouth and his tongue keeps himself from calamity. Proverbs 21:23

Complaining about the weather may not seem like a big deal.  However, would  you agree that what we say first thing sets the tone for the rest of the day? If you see the day as BAD simply because of the weather, well then your day will most likely reflect that. If you can give thanks for the day, regardless of the weather and even thank Him FOR the weather, then that sets up a whole other scenario.

I was tempted to complain about the weather today. VERY TEMPTED. But this is the day that the Lord has made! I decided to rejoice and be glad in it. I decided to praise the One who created it and thank Him for everything about it.

Thank You Lord for this day.

Thank You Lord for the cold, rain.

Thank You Lord for the wind.

Thank You Lord for the clouds.

Thank You Lord for the water You have provided.

Thank You Lord for the snow is MELTING.

Thank You Lord because You have given me the air I breathe.

Thank You Lord for LIFE.

This list is limitless when we choose to thank God in every thing. EVERY THING. Not just some things. EVERY THING!

May we guard our tongue and choose to speak praises of thanksgiving in every thing. May our hearts be full of gratitude. May our eyes behold the glory of our God every day in every thing. THANK YOU LORD!!!
