Today I started reading the book Crazy Love by Francis Chan. Some of the verses that Francis points out are from Psalm 19:1-4 (KJV): "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world..."
Part of the first chapter of this book is basically talking about all of the things that make God so glorious. Everything around us declares His glory, and gives us more reasons to serve Him than we should need. However, I'm very thankful for these reasons in His creation.
Tonight, on my way to a friend's house, a small deer ran out in front of my car. It was a little scary, but it was so beautiful. On the way home, I saw a coyote on the side of the road just standing, waiting to cross or just looking at all the cars go by. It was beautiful as well. All of God's creation- from the gentle deer to the fierce coyote, have a place in this world. He put them here on Earth. He also put us on Earth. Why did He do this? To glorify Him. So today, my challenge for you is to fulfill God's purpose for your life- please Him in all you do and give the glory to Him because He is worthy.
