It is He who made the earth

                  by His power,

who established the world

                 by His wisdom,

and by His understanding

    stretched out the heavens.

...for He is the one

              who formed all things

...the LORD of hosts is His name.

                      Jeremiah 10. 12, 16

(This intricately designed

         and functioning world

did not "just happen."

Nor did we just happen.

He who made this incredible earth

            made us as well

           as His beloved.

How differently do we view ourselves

        and the majesty around us

from the mountains to the smallest cell

           when we acknowledge God?)

 

O LORD,

You did not just create the world.

You created it with tremendous beauty.

May the awe we all feel

        be a call to worship You.

May we not discount or explain away

    what only You can do,

what all that You have done,

and what You are doing

               in our very lives.
