오늘의 묵상
모두 하나님의 것입니다. 그분께서 만드신, 눈이 휘둥그레질만큼 아름다운 자연 속에 다채로움과 창의성이 드러나게 됩니다. 이런 아름다운 자연을 지혜롭게 사용합시다. 이 세상은 우리의 것이 아니라 하나님의 만드신 세상입니다. 이 세상의 모든 사람은 하나님께 귀중합니다. 그들이 얼마나 소중한 존재인지 알게 되도록 도와줍시다!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
It all belongs to God! The multifaceted and creative side of our heavenly Father's nature is revealed in the astounding beauty and variety in our universe. This is not our world, but our Father has chosen to share it with us as one of his many gifts to us. Our Creator chose to provide us with the changing seasons in each year and the kaleidoscope of colors in each sunset and sunrise to frame our days. These are reminders of his love for beauty and variety, for predictability and also change. In addition to all that God has made and placed before us, he has crowned us, his human children, with glory and honor. Each of us is made, even with all of our differences, in his likeness. We are bearers of his divine image. Each person and all the peoples are precious to him. All the universe is the Lord's, yet in his greatness, he chooses to know each one of us intimately. Ah, my friend, that is grace upon grace from the Lord who loves each one of us with an undying love as he sustains a universe too vast for us to imagine!

My Prayer...
Lord God Almighty, the universe is yours. You sustain it by your powerful word. All creation attests to your marvelous power and creative mastery. I pray in awe that you are also my abba Father who welcomes me into your presence. Thank you for using your majesty and might to bless us and provide such a wonderful world. In Jesus' name, I pray and praise you. Amen.
