Part of Creation

Focus

Picture the vastness of the universe, with its countless stars and galaxies, and the intricate beauty of life on Earth. Know that you are a significant part of this creation, made in the image of God. As you read today’s Scripture, marvel at the power and beauty of creation.

Reflection

As part of God's creation, we hold a unique and sacred place. We are made in God's image, reflecting God’s nature and creativity. This identity is intertwined with the wonder of the universe, from the grandeur of galaxies to the complexity of life. Psychology shows us that recognizing our value and the sacredness of human life are essential to well-being, reminding us of our unique role in creation.

Apply

Reflect on your place in God’s creation. How does knowing that you are made in God’s image influence your view of yourself and others? How can you honor the sacredness of life in your daily actions?

Respond

Creator God, thank you for making me in your image and placing me in your beautiful creation. Help me to see the sacredness in myself and others–and to care for your creation with love and respect. Give me eyes to see you in myself and others, so that my life points those I come in contact with toward their own infinite worth. Amen.
