Teach me your way, O Lord, and I will walk in Your truth; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear Your name. Psalm 86:11


We are Siyahamba. We are walking in the light.

Living in Boulder, I'm always so blown away how people cannot see the beauty of the flatiorns as God's creation. Rather, they're just the result of some magnificent explosion that was the result of the universe cooling....... Basically, by pure happenstance, this world was created.... Furthermore, my physics teacher told us this week that humans are simply a byproduct of dead, exploded stars. And if it were not for the remains of these stars, we humans wouldn't be around. Doesn't that make you feel good to know that there's no greater purpose for you and that we're just recycled material...?


God's creation is so magnificent and it blows me away how people see it as either a mistake or as pure chance that everything came together perfectly to create the world we have today. 


Piper writes in his book Taste and See a resolution that we should make in order to see God's creation for what it really is:


"I shall open my eyes and ears. Once every day I shall simply stare at a tree, a flower, a could, or a person. I shall not then be concerned at all to ask what they are but simply be glad that they are. I shall joyfully allow them the mystery of what Lewis calls their 'divine, magical, terrifying and ecstatic' existence."


In Him, for Him, and through Him,
Sam
