It seems like recently I’ve been writing about nature, but that's what I’ve been amazed at this past month. I have opened my eyes to the wonders of God’s creation. Now this post is about the Earth itself and how it has amazed me this past week as I was helping with my church’s VBS.
“Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass,
When I looked around,
I remembered that the earth was spinning,
On a bright blue, clear day all you need to do is look around.
You will see that what God saw at the beginning
was true.
“Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass,
the herb that yields seed,
and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind,
whose seed is in itself,
on the earth;”…"
“And God saw that it was good.” (Genesis 1:11, 12b)
When I looked around,
I saw the clouds spinning around me.

I remembered that the earth was spinning,
but we do not realize it because of gravity.
Just looking up, knowing that I am spinning
with the earth but do not feel it,
just bring shivers up my spine.
It’s an AMAZING thought.
I find that I could just walk for
hours observing the creation of God in silence.
Taking it in, listening to the little sounds
we do not take notice of daily.
When I was younger, I would do anything
to get a globe for my birthday or Christmas.
I just badly wanted one.
But as I was looking up this past week,
it looked as though we were living in a globe.
The atmosphere was like the glass, around us
and space was like the world outside of the globe.
It’s like we're living in God’s globe.
It’s like when he shakes it, it snows.
The clouds move like gas contained in a sphere.
It’s just marvellous!
The different shades of light that move by
either slowly or quickly as the clouds move in front
of the sun.
Just all those obvious details that we miss everyday
are enough to show me how amazing and artistic
my God is.
Today, the clouds were moving quickly,
like a race around the globe.
There would be sunlight for a few seconds,
then dark shade, then sunlight.
It made my own heart race.
It reminded me how even creation
cries out to God.
When God turned His face away from His own
Son, Jesus Christ,
and poured all His wrath upon Him,
the sky was very dark.
It’s like the earth globe
reflects the mood of our God.
Isn’t that just an amazing thought?
Nothing in God’s globe is consistent
as I have observed.
Not even the plants, animals, waters, and not us.
The water is always flowing and new minerals are found
in the water each second.
The plants do not have a consistent growth.
Their growth depends on the amount of
precipitation (which is not constant),
and the sunlight.
Animals are not the same as they were 100 years ago.
This showed me just how consistent God is.
By that, I mean He IS the same yesterday,
today, and forever.
He is the only thing in this inconsistent world that never changes.
Once you realize how inconsistent everything is,
the fact that God is consistent and never changes
will seriously blow your mind.
God created the earth so that it never ends.
It’s eternal in a way.
You could keep going around it and you’ll never find the end or beginning.
It reminds me of how God does not have a beginning or end.
The more I observe God’s globe, the more it screams
out to me the name of God.
There is no way this could have been a product
of just one cell.
Please, and I am asking you, pleeeaaase look around you.
Observe God’s globe and how it just reflects the character
and being of our creator. A masterpiece always reflects the handiwork of the artist.
