almost a blog

so when my mom woke me up to say goodbye and leave for work this morning, she said "It looks like we're going to have a beautiful sunrise today." So twenty minutes later, I was dressed and walking outside. It was cloudless, so i didn't expect much. But the colors...wow! I've never seen the sun so red before. It looked like it was literally on fire. So of course I took pictures. Where are they you ask? I've learned that in the moving process, things gets misplaced easily and often. I'm not exactly sure where the USB cord is that fits my camera and the photo printer's card reader hasn't been working for a while. So, this was almost a complete blog post this morning.

But really, who needs pictures? God's majesty and glory can be seen in ALL of creation. Just take a look around. Spring is causing things to bloom and sprout up. It's beautiful! And it's beautiful because God made it that way. He wired plants to bloom in the spring and He wired us to enjoy watching them do so. And we are to give Him praise because of it.

"The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky above proclaims His handiwork."
Psalm 19:1

"Praise YHWH! Praise YHWH from the heavens;
praise Him in the heights!
Praise Him, all his angels;
praise Him, all his hosts!
Praise Him, sun and moon,
praise Him, all you shining stars!
Praise Him, you highest heavens,
and you waters above the heavens!

Let them praise the name of YHWH!
For He commanded and they were created.
And He established them forever and ever;
He gave a decree, and it shall not pass away.

Praise YHWH from the earth,
you great sea creatures and all deeps,
fire and hail, snow and mist,
stormy wind fulfilling His word!

Mountains and all hills,
fruit trees and all cedars!
Beasts and all livestock,
creeping things and flying birds!

Kings of the earth and all peoples,
princes and all rulers of the earth!
Young men and maidens together,
old men and children!

Let them praise the name of YHWH,
for His name alone is exalted;
His majesty is above earth and heaven.
He has raised up a horn for His people,
praise for all His saints,
for the people of Israel who are near to Him.
Praise YHWH!"
Psalm 148

So today, praise Him for His handiwork!
