Draw Me Close

This morning I kept playing this song over and over again as my prayer.

Lord,
You're all I want,
You're all I ever needed
Help me know You're near

Taking time to be quiet

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, (Psalm 8:3 NIV)

God is saying that we can learn so much about Him just by observing nature.

Sometimes I need to shut out the world, by going to a quiet place in nature somewhere and reflecting on God's goodness. Just soaking in the sound and beauty of nature and allowing it to talk to me!

How can I not believe His existence?

This is why the Psalmist said, “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God” (Psalm 14:1).

Father, thank you for Your constant reminder. 

Am I getting it?

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. (Psalm 19:1-3 NIV)

 "There is a language in nature that speaks of the existence of God. It is the language of order, beauty, perfection, and intelligence." Billy Graham

I've titled this entry "Am I getting it?

Nature speaks about who God is but am I getting it? 

I look up - the heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Our solar system speaks volume of the one who created or engineered it! The way the planets orbit the sun in such an orderly manner, the position of earth in relation to the other planets in the solar system, the work of the sun and the moon, day and night, the creation of seasons and so much more! Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. Am I getting it?

I look around me, nature speaks of the beauty, perfection and intelligence of the One who designed and created it! Am I getting it? 

Each time I teach my students about the  Fibonacci sequence, I am fascinated and amazed just as they are about its existence in nature:)

The miracle of life is again the work of His Hands. Am I getting it? 

He is indeed a God of order! A beautiful God who is perfect in EVERY way! Oh yes, definitely intelligent!! 

Each day I am reminded of who God is.
