“Mountains and all hills; fruitful trees and all cedars; beasts and all
cattle; creeping things and flying fowl;” (Psalm 148:9-10)
In season, each of the trees God
created bear their fruit. In season,
each of the plants and animals follow what the Lord has created for them to
do. Each has their part in the created
order of things. In the simplicity of
what we see every day, what the Lord has created brings continued life into our
world. Be amazed at all the Lord has
done and be one of His creatures who lives according to His will.
Lord, open my eyes to see what is plainly visible. Nature follows Your created order of
things. Keep my eyes on what You have
done to see the overwhelming evidence of what creation has been from the
beginning. Guide me to see things as
they are and then to see Your hand upon all that You have made. Teach me to give thanks for the marvels of
Your creation and its order.
Lord Jesus, You have come to lead
the way in living the godly life. Guide
me according to Your Word to do what is right and fitting. Help me to see that Your grace is to enable
me to get back on track when I fall away, but that my first call is to simply
be whom You have made me to be according to the Father’s will. Lead me, O Lord, in the way of goodness and
truth. Amen.
