The Beauty of Nature Is God’s Greeting Card

Have you ever had a day when you wonder if God even knows you exist? Is it a smile-less day when you have lost a job or a loved one or you are sick?

On a day when you need a “wow” moment to lift your spirit, God has the perfect remedy awaiting you. Step out in to the world He created….. the world He delights in. There is no place on earth where God will not greet you and point you to His existence through the beauty in nature created by His Artist’s Hand.

The Arctic, as bleak as it seems, has penguins looking as if they are all decked out in tuxedos for a spectacular party. And one lone flower in a desert is as uniquely created in stunning detail as are the billions and billions of stars that God’s Word tells us He knows by individual names. The birds that fly above you are clad in feathers arranged in unique hues and intricate detail and their song is uniquely composed for each species by their Creator who cares so much about them that He knows when they fall.

His creative palette colors the sky at dawn and dusk in unique colors every moment and every day. From the large to the microscopic, God’s Hand is involved in all creation. He is the artist creating millions of greetings for us each day. Are you aware of them? He is telling you “I care enough to send you the very best”…bird or butterfly or rainbow or snowflake  or whatever delights your heart in nature..

 God gave us five senses to delight in the beauty of His personal greeting card sent to us at the perfect time. Whether His card to us is a get well card or a sympathy card or thank  you card and a ‘Just Saying Hi’ card, our little patch of nature was given to us by God to make us aware of His care for us.

Soak in the wonder of Nature which God has given us. He is here for you right now in His Creation. What greeting card did God send you today to let remind you of His presence? A sunset or the intricate crystalline pattern of hunks of ice on a lakeshore at sunrise or a baby robin  freshly pecked out of his egg to let  you know that life goes on or the chipmunk eating the bird seed out of my feeder, obviously ignorant of the fact that he has no feathers?  

Revel in God‘s greeting card free for the taking.
