Psalm 65 4 What joy for those you choose to bring near, those who live in your holy courts. What festivities await us inside your holy Temple. 5 You faithfully answer our prayers with awesome deeds, O God our savior. You are the hope of everyone on earth, even those who sail on distant seas. 6 You formed the mountains by your power and armed yourself with mighty strength. 7 You quieted the raging oceans with their pounding waves and silenced the shouting of the nations. 8 Those who live at the ends of the earth stand in awe of your wonders. From where the sun rises to where it sets, you inspire shouts of joy.
Ever wonder at this planet? I mean really take a minute, step back, get a deep breath on a quiet morning/evening in an amazing and awesome place....and....just...be...blown away?
There are many places that inspire Kit and I...from the inspiring heights of the western mountains to the beauty of the Utah desert to the amazing colors of the Blue Ridge Parkway to the beaches on either side of this country to the volcano in Chinandega, Nicaragua to the countryside in Italy to the beaches of Sanibel-Captiva in Florida and on and on...
There are so many different forms of life as well, with color as the birds in our yard, grace as the soaring of a Bald Eagle, or the clumsy friendliness of the Manatee...so much is in this place for us....
And there is one God who created and reigns over it all.
There is no surprise to God, except perhaps when we don't get that He loves us...
There is nothing that takes place outside of His thoughts or outside of His hand...
He is amazing, awesome, and inspirational.
He wants us to draw near to Him so that He can direct our path...
Do we have the courage to do it?
