With the 4th day of subzero weather, I began to think how God gives creation a rest in Colorado at this time of year. Two days ago the snow crystals hung in the air propelling me to ruminate about winter rest at -14 F. My breath just floated in the air as well. As the morning light came over the eastern horizon, it beckoned me to a new day. My mind paused as I thought about what our Creator would have me do with this day. Will I live it for Him or myself? Thus taking the time to reflect helps bring order and purpose to the day.
I'm amazed at the order of creation. Its cycles have continued for millennia. So we have spring, summer, fall and winter. We have the regular diurnal changes of day into night. Moreover God faithfully provides all we need to hold this planet in place. Plus He watches over it as a loving mother tenderly cares for her infant.
And if I just pause for a few moments and reflect on His creation, it helps me to be grateful for this beautiful planet on which we exist. Have you taken time for just a few moments to rest in and reflect on His creation? Tomorrow morning go outside wherever you live and enjoy a winter's rest.
