The heavens declare

    the glory of God,

and the sky above

    proclaims His handiwork.

                Psalm 19. 1

(The awe we feel

is a call to worship the Creator.

Even those who

    do not acknowledge God

are compelled to recognize

   the wonder that stirs their souls.

His handiwork is far too intricate

   and impossible to just happen.

God did not just create.

    He created beauty,

  and our ability to

          recognize beauty:

the mountains, the sea,

    the plains, the great forests,

all creatures great and small.

The LORD God made them all

      and knows them by name.

           Even us.

His fingerprints in nature,

His hand over us.)

O LORD,

Even in ways we

         would never expect

and perhaps never see,

You are faithful.

We have only to look outside

    to know Your greatness.

Help us to be a witness to You

    in words both great and small,

    in kindnesses

            that are never small,

    in our love for You

     spilling over

     into our love for others.

May we worship You

           into this day,

not just by what

        stirs our souls,

but seeing how You are

     enlarging our hearts.

Be magnified and multiplied,

                 Almighty One,

even right where we are

  or wherever You take us today.

May we trust You.
