Golden Eagle
May 8, 2013

My son Mark and I were leaving the Clyde Peterson Ranch in Wyoming to head back to Michigan. In the distance we spotted a huge bird sitting in a solitary tree overlooking a steep canyon. As we approached, the golden eagle leaped from the tree and soared out over the canyon, the golden streaks in its feathers shimmering in the morning sun. Its immense size and beauty filled us with wonder. We felt privileged to witness this magnificent demonstration of God’s awesome creativity.

Creation displays God’s “wondrous works” (Ps. 145:5). And when we stop to meditate on those works, we can’t help but be awed as our minds and spirits are moved to reflect on the character of the God who created them.

That golden eagle told my son and me a story of the creative genius of our mighty God. So does the flitting songbird, the doe with her playful fawn, the pounding surf, and delicate little flowers such as bachelor’s-button and spring beauty. In the most unexpected moments and out-of-the-way places the Lord shines His glory in this world in order to reveal Himself to us. Those serendipitous moments are opportunities to “meditate . . . on [His] wondrous works” (v.5).

This is my Father’s world,
I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas—
His hand the wonders wrought. —Babcock

Always be on the lookout for wonder. —E. B. White

Read: Psalm 145:1-7

I will meditate . . . on Your wondrous works. —Psalm 145:5

Bible in a Year:
2 Kings 4-6; Luke 24:36-53

“
Psalm 145:5

New International Version (NIV)

5 They speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty—
and I will meditate on your wonderful works.”
************************************************************

Our days are filled with needed chores, hurry, running errands, watching TV, listening to the radio, visiting with friends, God sees it all. We fall into bed tired from the trials of the day and pray for our family, and give thankful gratitude for our blessings of the day. To be repeated tomorrow. Father forgive us for our careless way of coming before thee in adoration, praise, joy, and love. Help us to be pleasing before Thee, in Jesus name, amen.

The migration of Monarch butterflies, the distance they cover, and the beauty of thousands of butterflies is astonishing. The beauty and wonder of Hummingbirds is another time when we take time to notice and wonder at the amazing creations of our LORD.

Thank you, LORD, is much to small a thank you.

God created the heavens, the universe and might still be creating ... it is God’s nature to CREATE. WOW!
