Nature's Revelation

These words welled up inside my heart late one night after silently observing the beauty of God’s creation while traveling to Michigan. The magnificent wonder of it all causes me to pause and thank Him for blessing us day to day with such splendor, be it simple or great.  May these words inspire your heart as well, to worship our Creator with thankful hearts.

“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth His handiwork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night showeth knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard.” –Psalm 19:1-3

Glowing sun orb, fiery orange
Awakes the earth from sleep
Bursting forth so gloriously
‘Ore shadows of the deep

Rising slowly in the sky
Dispersing the shrouds of night
Casting smashing shades upon 
The clouds of purest white

Soon we find the midday sky
Reflecting in waters blue
And skirting the calm, tranquil pond
An awe-inspiring view

Luscious slopping hills of green
Tall pines which stand erect
A host of wildlife gather ‘neath
Strong limbs of which protect

A moment later, ominous clouds
Roll in as if on duty
A crack of lightning, peel of thunder
Form its own majestic beauty

Sheets of rain descend
The earth’s refreshed once more
A rainbow’s vivid rays appear
An end to the down-pour

And each reflecting droplet rests
Upon both leaf and flower
Catching the glint of sunlight
Following the sudden shower

And as the sun begins to set
Upon a sky of grey
It melts into such soft pastels
And slowly fades away

Then just as if out of a dream
Floats in the blackening sky
Enchanting silvery moon
And twinkling stars shooting by
 
Fireflies like pixie dust
Gleaming in the night
Shimmering magic through wooded forest
Mystic sparkling light

All creation moves
With such miraculous wonderment
And fills a soul with questions
Of the Creators true intent

To bless our form of life
Though perverse in all its ways
With such surpassing beauty
Causing awe-inspiring praise

The intricate magnificence
Reveals the Master’s hand
In ways our eyes can see
Yet often fail to understand

So blessed are we to wake
Each morning to its view
A heavenly masterpiece composed
With love for me and you
