4 creation: land & seas, plants & trees

I have seen the power of Your creation. I have flown over the grand canyon and have seen how water can carve through solid rock. I was in New Orleans the week after Katrina and saw the flooding. These things are small compared with Your majesty. The earth and the sea are Your creation and they bend to Your will. And the seemingly smaller aspects of Your creation are no less amazing. Photosynthesis. The delicate balance of an ecosystem, yet the ability You have given it to adapt and change and strive. Every piece has a purpose. The cycle goes on and on. Humans have done much to destroy Your beautiful creation but the creation lives on. We are called to be good stewards of this planet but You alone are master over it. And Your creation is meant to be admired and appreciated and cared for. Much time and energy has been wasted turning environmentalism into a political issue that polarizes this nation and others. The simple fact is that You made this world. It is precious to us. I don't need a cause or a coalition to love and respect Your creation. I am in awe of Your greatness, Your wonder, Your unfathomable depths. I long to share eternity with You.

for His passion was for our salvation
