- Morning Thoughts
I woke up this morning to the sound of a majestic thunderstorm.
I just laid in my bed listening to the sound of the rain hitting the rooftop. The impact of each raindrop against the surface was a triumphant declaration of its victorious journey to earth. Beautiful.
Periodically the rumbles of thunder could be heard. It was as if the gates of Heaven opened and the trumpets could be heard emanating from within the heavenly halls. Glorious.
I thought to myself how truly blessed I am to be able to enjoy all this. We have been entrusted with such a wondrous gift to take care over. Words cannot truly capture the beauty found within Creation. And if I’m at lost for words with trying to convey my thoughts about Creation, how can I even begin to express how beautiful and marvelous the Creator is? For Creation is but a reflection of the Creator.
More and more I can see His fingerprints in everything. More and more am I lost in His splendor.
Lord, thank you for the many wonders You have created. For the rain that comes and gives life to the earth. For the lightning and thunder that showcase the raw power of Creation. And most of all for the realization that, although marvelous and mighty in themselves, they only point to One who is Greater: You. Amen.
