The Other Eighty Percent

August 5, 2013

Recently I saw a billboard stating that 80 percent of all life on Earth is found in the seas. That staggering number is difficult to process, largely because most of that life is out of sight.

As I considered this, it reminded me of how much greater God’s creation is than we typically appreciate. While we can easily have our breath taken away by a majestic mountain range or a panoramic sunset, we sometimes fail to see His extraordinary work in the details that require more careful study and examination. Not only is much of God’s creation hidden by the oceans, but other parts are also too small for our eyes to observe. From the microscopically small to the unsearched reaches of the universe, it is all the work of our Creator. In those magnificent structures—seen and unseen—God’s creative glory is revealed (Rom. 1:20).

As we grow to understand the wonder of creation, it must always point us to the Creator Himself—and call us to worship Him. As the psalmist said, “Let heaven and earth praise Him, the seas and everything that moves in them” (Ps. 69:34). If creation itself gives praise to the Creator, we can and should certainly join the chorus. What a mighty God we serve!

O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made,
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed! —Boberg
The wonder of creation causes us to say, “What a wonderful God!”

Read: Psalm 69:29-36

Let heaven and earth praise Him, the seas and everything that moves in them. —Psalm 69:34
Bible in a Year:
Psalms 68-69; Romans 8:1-21

It's going to be a triple digit hot week in Texas.
Love my A/C!
Hope all is well with you.

It’s hot here too, but it rains every day, which cools things off a bit WHILE it is raining.

When the rain stops, it is hot again AND humid.

But the grass is VERY green LOL!

A/C is a wonderful invention.

Hi Meg! Sorry it is so hot by you. We are rather cool in southern WI today. About 70 and rainy-cloudy. I like this weather. Maybe I should have been born in Scotland?

Cheers

It’s a beautiful little church in the middle of the rain forest on the Kona Coast of Hawaii.

Can’t think of any better place to REPENT!

(Not that Kitteh needs to!)
