FROM THE LORD

 Ever wonder why God went to such great lengths to create so much natural beauty in the world?  Catching even a glimpse of an average sunrise leads to a feeling that surely God created such beauty for us to enjoy. God’s creation was deliberate, and its natural beauty is an indication of the depth of God’s love for us.

Can I just tell ya something?  The endless and breathtaking natural beauty of the world cost our Creator nothing to create. But, for the opportunity provided for us to spend eternity in the unimaginably MORE beautiful heaven with Him, He left His throne to be born in a barn and to die a violent death He did not deserve. That exchange cost Him everything!

The world contains so much beauty, but we must never forget that our help does not come from beautiful sunsets, mountain streams, glistening blue lakes, or picturesque horizons. Nor does our help come from ourselves. Our help comes from our Creator, the maker of heaven and earth.

We can enjoy God’s gift of the beauty of creation according to our own preferences and affinities. But we can worship the One who created it and trust in His Providence.

What we need is actually quite evident: We need more God in our lives and less of ourselves! #MásDeTi

I lift my eyes toward the mountains. Where will my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭121:1-2‬ ‭CSB
