Dear Friends,
Summer is coming to a close and I have been seeing and hearing signs that fall is about to begin. One of these signs is the cicada insect shells attached to trees and plants. They are monstrous looking things with buggy eyes and legs that have barbs that allow them to cling to things. They are found after the insect has emerged and has flown to the treetops. The insect has a monstrous green body and transparent wings and huge bulging eyes. They make a loud reverberating chirping/humming sound from the treetops!
God's Word has references to ways that nature worships the God who created it all. The world is full of unique creatures that display amazing characteristics. I am in awe of our Maker.
He loves His creation. Our world displays His creativity and we read in Psalms 148:5, "Let every created thing give praise to the Lord, for He issued His command, and they came into being."
We also are a part of His handiwork. Ephesians 2:10 says, "For we are God's masterpiece. He created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago."
In Exodus 31 God talked with Moses and told him that He had chosen Bezalel and, " filled him with the Spirit of God, giving him great wisdom, ability, and expertise in all kinds of crafts. He is a master craftsman, expert in working with gold, silver and bronze...." Bezalel was chosen to use his abilities for building the Tabernacle of God.
The abilities that make us who we are can be used to glorify God. We must never think that we are lacking in that area, but live to glorify God with our lives. He is our Heavenly Father who desires His children to be His image bearers! How do you see Christ in your neighbor or your friend? I want to encourage you to look for His image in people around you!
Psalms 66:8
"Let the whole world bless our God and loudly sing His praises."
