Read: Psalm 19:1
2024 has been a year filled with stunning displays of God’s creativity in the sky. I had the chance to witness a total eclipse this year, and it was absolutely breathtaking. Many people experienced the beauty of the aurora borealis, and just a few weeks ago, I saw a comet shooting through the night sky. I was even able to capture a picture of it on my phone! These moments have been incredible reminders of how awe-inspiring God’s creation truly is.
Creation is a constant reminder of God’s abundant nature. The sermon highlighted the breathtaking variety and beauty of Earth—from majestic mountains to intricate creatures like the anglerfish. These are not mere accidents of nature; they are deliberate expressions of God’s creative generosity.
God didn’t settle for “good enough” when He made the world. He filled it with diversity, beauty, and detail, all pointing back to His glory. He could have made a monochromatic planet, but instead, He gave us vivid colors, awe-inspiring landscapes, and creatures that amaze us. This abundance shows us His heart: God is not limited, and neither is His provision for us.
When we’re tempted to doubt whether God will come through for us, we can look to creation as a reminder of His power and generosity. If He lavished this much care on the world around us, how much more does He care for you and me? Trusting in God’s abundance means believing that He is both able and willing to meet our needs.
