A question in the devotional book that I just advertised asked, “How do I see God through His creation?” Now I bet an entire book could be written on that question, but I am only capable of so much.
I was sitting on the back porch when coming to that question and I was able to watch a squirrel about 15 feet away on the nearby tree by the porch steps and a rabbit about 20ish feet away. They both were kinda startled when I walked on the porch causing them to freeze, but after I just sat there for a little bit, they resumed their business of eating the fruits that fell off the tree. On a side note, rabbits are incredibly fun to watch when eating, moving there cute whiskers all around as they nibble away.
Anyways, I began to think about the circle of life thing that is so popular in Disney movies and other cultures. I am not really thinking on the side of our death transferring into new life, but how all life is connected. I guess not as much like a circle, but more of a web, a web of relationships. When I look at God’s creation, in this case nature, everything is connected. I see this as his reminder to us that we are meant to be the same way. We aren’t a meaningless speck flying through space, we are to be trees with root systems (with 10 to the 10th connections ;P) sucking nutrients from God but intertwined with each other all the while (hopefully) producing that fruit of the spirit. But then again, I didn’t really answer the question yet. Oy veh…
How do I see God through creation? the answer for me is partially what this week’s devotional has been themed about, creativity. God is so genius and creative, and he does all this as part of his love. God’s creation shows me that He is love, He is creativity, He is love.. The beauty he has provided is part of what shows us that he loves us. I am kind of scatterbrained right now, and not being able to say what I want, pero no es importante. I see nature as this giant reminder for so many things. And why would he put so much effort into it if he didn’t love us? No hay un razon.
Another question asks, “What can I do to see God more often and more easily?”
I first think of: staying in his word, appreciating the beauty around, including the beauty he puts into each person (which would be an easier way to get along with somebody), and sing some good ol’ hymns!
