Psalm 104:24
O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
Awed by the vastness and variety of God’s creation, the psalmist exclaimed, “O Lord, how manifold are thy works.â€
I’m awed, too, as I consider God’s creative abilities. He established order in the sun, moon and stars, revolution and rotation, day and night. Yet each night, the moon looks different. Clouds transform before our eyes. No two snowflakes are alike. Every human is an individual masterpiece.
Variety. I love unique, creative, one-of-a-kinds. Routine has its place and sameness is good, but thank God for variety. God’s penchant for variety fuels my creative spirit—not only to fashion beauty through paint or pen, but also to recognize the unique and beautiful qualities He places in each person.
Lord, may we remain awed in the variety and fullness of Your riches here on earth and appreciative of Your handiwork in those with whom we interact today.
Prayer Corner
Pray today for Marjorie Workman as she leads WNAC ministries.
(She and eight other Women Active for Christ returned to the USA yesterday after a jam-packed, emotional 10-day trip, delivering Christmas Joy gifts to children in Central Asia. Ask God to give each one strength, rest and deliverance from jet lag and exhaustion.)
