Monday I had a chance to take a quick walk through a beautiful area near my friend's home. Unless you lived in the area, you would never know that place existed. We walked past lush green hills, tall pepper trees, grazing cows and a gentle stream. I felt as if I had stepped back into the late 1800's. The quiet was only broken by our voices and the flitter of humming birds as they zoomed by.
I love walking through nature. It is a vivid reminder that God is the Creator. Each tree, leaf, blade of grass, horse, cattle, bush, and rock shows His perfect handiwork. Even in our fallen world there are still many elements of beauty to be found. I can't even imagine how awesome and wonderful God's original designs must have been!
Depending where you live it may be difficult to find these little glimpses of God's creation. Too many times concrete and steel take over the grass and trees. It may take some effort, but try to find a park or a nature center near your home. Sit on a bench or walk along a trail and just enjoy the beauty that was created for us.
The evidence of God is all around. Take the time to stop, look, and listen.
