Can You See It?

"So it shall be, while My glory passes by,

that I will put you in the cleft of the rock,

and cover you with My hand while I pass by."

Exodus 33:22

      I have a favorite place I like to sit and read my Bible. It's a bench made out of an old log cut in half. It was difficult getting it right where I wanted it because it's very heavy, but I managed to drag it to the barn and close to my favorite oak tree where I feed the horses in good weather. You can see the bench in the header above. There is something special about sitting under the blue sky, listening to the birds sing in the trees, watching the horses graze and reading the words, "The earth declares the glory of God."

 

      Those words take on new meaning as everything around me says Amen. His creativity is seen in His handiwork and it glorifies Him. Do I notice it enough? Do I even take the time to look each day? Is it possible that I could walk by such beauty and not even see it, that my eyes could become accustomed to it and I might no longer behold His glory in it?

      I want to see it, to always notice, to never take it for granted...never take Him for granted. His breath of life fills the air around us all. His majesty is displayed in all He has made...even you and me, His children. Can you see it?

The earth declares His glory!

Your Glory

By Charlotte Foster

“Show me your glory,” I dared to say,

As I walked along the road today.

 Then as I spoke a cloud passed by,

A soft white pillow in deep blue sky.

 And gentle breeze of such degree,

Not hot or cold as it touched me.

 More like a touch from someone’s hand,

Softly passing where I stand.

 A bird high in the old oak tree,

Sang his tune so happily.

 And then I realized all around,

Your voice was heard in every sound.

 In every wind and passing cloud,

Revealing of yourself out-loud.

 For all to see - Yes you were there,

In every song or breath of air.

 In Your creation loud and clear,

Are signs of you so very near.

And when I stopped to ponder You,

I saw Your glory fresh and new.

The earth declares the glory of God!
