It amazes me to just sit back and look at the world that God masterfully created. To watch the stars creep across the night sky, in perfect rhythm with God’s heartbeat. To smell the rain lingering in the air. To feel the gentle breeze pushing my hair back. Whenever I take the time out of my schedule to do nothing but appreciate God’s creation, I can only reach one conclusion: We serve an amazing God.
Looking at the world in that way not only elicits praise from us, but it radically changes our perspective. It takes away our small human mindset and transforms it to line up with God’s amazing plan. We stop viewing things from our selfish, sinful perspective and start looking at the world through God’s eyes. And the truth comes out: we are nothing. We are dust in God’s hands. We are completely and utterly insignificant.
Now comes my favorite part of God’s story. He loves us even though we are nothing compared to him. In fact, he sacrificed his only son just to have communion with us forever. The facts don’t change. God loves us, he sacrificed for us and he continues to surround us with his love, if we let him. What an amazing God we serve!
