Cave Creek, Arizona - a few days ago I wrote a post about God revealing himself through creation.
I was out in God's creation again today. The sky was incredibly blue, the high Sonoran desert was ablaze in golden poppies. The landscape is lush and green. Not a common thing for Arizona. We have received a lot of rain this winter.
The quail were bustling about no doubt contemplating the perfect spot to build their nests for the coming birth of their young.
Normally this 6 mile trail is a place of solitude but today, we must have crossed paths with no less than 30 people!
Mankind is drawn to the creation because it speaks to them. It isn't an audible voice. But a voice nonetheless.
As I took a few moments to breathe in the air, to feel the cool breeze across my face, to witness the incredible color and majesty of this mountain scene and touch the delicate poppies with my fingers, inevitably I find a tear working its way down my face.
Thank you Father for this most special and private communion with you today. I heard you! You are beautiful and Your creation speaks to my soul. I am refreshed! I feel as though I touched Your hand today.
"For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse." Romans 1:20
Father, I see and I understand from Your creation.
