Camping Psalms
|
Read: Psalm 8:1–9
When my husband and I go for nature walks,
we bring our cameras and take close-ups of the plants at our feet, which are
like microcosms of the world. What amazing variety and beauty we see, even in
the fungi that spring up overnight and dot the woods with splashes of bright
orange, red, and yellow!
The snapshots of life that surround us
inspire me to lift my eyes to the Maker who created not only mushrooms but
also the stars in the heavens. He designed a world of infinite scope and
variety. And He made you and me and placed us in the very middle of this
beauty to enjoy and to rule over it (Gen. 1:27-28; Ps. 8:6-8).
My thoughts turn to one of our family’s
“camping psalms”—psalms we read as we sit around the fire. “
O Lord, our majestic
Maker, our hearts turn toward praise when we see snapshots of Your beautiful
world. Thank You for creating us! Help us to rule Your world with wisdom.
A God wise enough to
create me and the world I live in is wise enough to watch out for me.
Philip Yancey
How amazing that the great God who created the world in all its splendor cares for you and me! —Alyson Kieda
INSIGHT:
The
power God displayed in creation
(Ps. 8) is not limited to creation alone. God also expressed His power when
He raised Jesus from the dead, proving that Christ was (and is) the Son of
God (Rom. 1:4). We also have the assurance that His power is available to
work in and through us to carry us during the challenges of life. In fact,
our weakness is the perfect platform to exhibit His power. Paul wrote, “[The
Lord] said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made
perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my
weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me” (2 Cor. 12:9).Are you
struggling with weakness? Reflect on the expansiveness of God’s power and
then ask Him to help you discover that power in your situation. Bill Crowder
