All Creatures of Our God and King

Psalm 19:7-11 

The law of the LORD is perfect, restoring the soul; The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the LORD are true; they are righteous altogether. They are more desirable than gold, even much fine gold and they are sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb. 

 

Made things make invisible qualities known.


Proverbs 24:13-14 

Eat honey, my son, for it is good; honey from the comb is sweet to your taste. Know also that wisdom is like honey for you….


To experience the tiny theophany is itself to adore. Gratitude exclaims, very properly: “How good of God to give me this.” Adoration says: “What must be the quality of that Being whose far-off brilliance is like this! One’s mind looks along the sunbeam back to the sun.” -Lewis


Psalm 34:8 

- Taste and see that the Lord is Good. 

- God wants us to experience Him. 

Looking for his invisible nature in creation all around you will cultivate wonder, thankfulness, and anticipation. 


 Made things make invisible qualities visible.

 - You are a made thing. 


We become like what we behold. 


Hebrews 1:3 

He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power.
