Here I Am, Lord: Devotions from Time of Grace

Dia 21 de 31

How Awesome Is Your Creation, Lord Whenever I get frustrated with people or paperwork or staring into a computer screen, Lord, I have found respite in getting outside. How marvelous, how complex, how subtle, how perfect, how beautiful is the world you made. If I crouch down close to the ground, I can see not only the flowers but the drops of dew, the bugs crawling on the ground, and the bees doing their pollinating. I can smell earth, feel the sun’s warmth, and touch the waxy chlorophyll factories, a.k.a. leaves, that you use to grow your plants. At night I can look up and like Abraham derive immense comfort from the stars you put there. “He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name. Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit” (Psalm 147:4,5). Great flaming gas balls in the sky--Lord, they seem to serve no purpose other than their stunning beauty in the night sky and as aids to navigation. Did you put them there just for us? If you not only made them with a word but take inventory of them and even care enough to have a personal name for each, all 50 billion of them just in our galaxy among the billions of galaxies, well, that tells me that you are capable of keeping track of me and my life too. You are awesome.

Here I Am, Lord: Devotions from Time of Grace

God knows that our tongues and brains sometimes lack the words to say, and so he provided the beautiful book of Psalms in his Word to provide vocabulary for us to bring our thoughts and concerns to him. These devotions, one for each day of the month, use psalms to help you voice your needs and hurts and joys to the Lord.
