The beauty of the earth

God creates everything himself. Sometimes we can get so caught up in either hating the world and not enjoying Gods natural beauty He put into it or too obsessed with the world and think it's perfect! Today for an Iowa winter it was so beautiful it was 52 degrees outside and just felt amazing and when you walked out there you could just feel God and His beauty and just how perfect He is! God created the heavens and the earth and He did it in His image. God doesn't go halfway and only do things to 50% of His power; He does 100% and that is who God is. If we love Him, He won't try to love us and bless us or try to save us. He does save us and does love us. He is so perfect and gives that to us, He isn't selfish and doesn't just try to keep it for Himself. He wants the whole world to know Him and see His glory. 

God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day. (Genesis 1:31 NIV). 

The Lord loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love. (Psalm 33:5 NIV). 

“See, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind. (Isaiah 65:17 NIV). 

The heavens are yours, and yours also the earth; you founded the world and all that is in it. You created the north and the south; Tabor and Hermon sing for joy at your name. (Psalm 89:11, 12 NIV). 

Psalms shows that God created them and they are His so if they His then they reflect His beauty and almighty power! We should not doubt all God is capable of when He literally made the earth and sent His son to save us. The question is not is God willing to give everything for us  the question is will we die to our old lives and continue to die to them to be closer to God and know His glory and beauty! 

When they heard this, they raised their voices together in prayer to God. “Sovereign Lord,” they said, “you made the heavens and the earth and the sea, and everything in them. (Acts 4:24 NIV). 

“You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.” (Revelation 4:11 NIV). 

God didn't created us because He was bored, He created us because of His great love and grace and for us to fellowship with Him. Not to be apart from Him and wanting everything but Him. Everyday we need to make the choice of Him over another person or purchase or way to spend our time. Time with God is not a choice it is a vital thing. God can work in mysterious ways and we must be ready at any time to hear Him!
